Former NSA head Mike Rogers suggests that Russia may be reconsidering its approach to influencing U.S. elections. He notes that, unlike in 2016, foreign attempts at election interference have not significantly increased. This could be attributed to heightened focus on election security by governments and a strategic choice by Russia to avoid being overly aggressive or visible in their tactics. Rogers warns that while there are signs of caution, election security remains a critical concern.
"The good news is that it doesn't appear that the Russians, or other nations, have accelerated or significantly increased in either level of effort or the breadth of capabilities being applied on election influence."
"I wonder if the Russians have said to themselves, 'Look, we think there's a return to be made, but perhaps being overly aggressive ... overly visible isn't in our best interest.'"
