DNI, FBI Say Iran, Interfering In 2020 Elections Against Trump Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said at an FBI press conference, Wednesday, said Iran and Russia have obtained some voter registration information, and Iran have taken specific actions to influence voters' opinion against President Trump. "This data can be used by foreign actors to attempt to communicate false information to registered voters that they hope will cause confusion, sew chaos, and undermine your confidence in American democracy," Ratcliffe said. "To that end, we have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest, and damage President Trump. "You may have seen some reporting on this in the last 24 hours or you may have even been one of the recipients of those emails. "Iran is distributing other content to include a video that implies that individuals could cast fraudulent ballots, even from overseas. This video and any claims about such allegedly fraudulent ballots are not true." "These actions are desperate attempts by desperate adversaries," he continued. "Even if the adversaries pursue further attempts to intimidate or attempt to undermine voter confidence, know that our election systems are resilient and you can be confident your votes are secure. "Although we have not seen the same actions from Russia, we are aware that they have obtained some voter information just as they did in 2016. Rest assured that we are prepared for the possibility of actions by those hostile to democracy." On his part, FBI Director Christopher Wray vowed to take action in order to ensure the integrity of U.S. elections. https://www.keneci.com/feedbox#h.3b3sev78f5q0
