The Joint statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency asserted that Russian influence actors created a deceptive video to undermine US electoral integrity, showcasing individuals illegally voting in Georgia. This action is indicative of a larger campaign by Moscow to incite distrust in the electoral process and deepen societal divides in America, leveraging social media to amplify falsehoods.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger condemned the video's content as overtly fraudulent, attributing its origin to Russian trolls whose intent is to disrupt and create chaos surrounding the U.S. election. He emphasized the necessity for swift action from social media providers to eliminate such misleading content and protect the integrity of the electoral process, which is essential for maintaining public trust in democratic systems.
