US Officials Warn of Increased Foreign Interference in Elections

US intelligence officials have raised alarms about a significant influx of disinformation targeting the upcoming elections, particularly congressional races. Adversaries including Russia, China, and Iran are expected to utilize various tactics, including AI-driven campaigns and spam networks, to influence voter perceptions and sow doubt about the validity of the elections. Intelligence agencies assess that the disinformation efforts will not end on Election Day, predicting continued attempts to undermine the electoral process. Reports indicate that while Russia may prefer a victory for Trump, Iran shows a more favorable stance towards Harris. Officials emphasize the need for vigilance against this ongoing threat to democratic integrity.
