US Intel Warns of Russian Election Disinformation
News summary

U.S. intelligence agencies have accused Russian influence actors of creating a viral video falsely depicting Haitian immigrants engaging in voter fraud in Georgia, aiming to undermine confidence in the U.S. election system. The video, which falsely claims the immigrants were voting multiple times for Vice President Kamala Harris, was deemed 'obviously fake' by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who called it targeted disinformation. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the FBI, and the Director of National Intelligence issued a joint statement highlighting this as part of a broader Russian effort to create distrust in election integrity and exacerbate divisions among Americans. The video, initially spread on social media, was condemned by election officials and criticized for furthering the goals of America's adversaries. Russian officials have historically dismissed such allegations as absurd, though the U.S. intelligence community expects more disinformation efforts from Russia ahead of the election.
