“We identified the source: it was from Russia,” Raffensperger said. “They think if they can get us to fight among ourselves, they can count that as a victory.”

On Monday, the intelligence community reported that a video of Haitian men claiming to vote with fake IDs in two Georgia counties was disinformation peddled by Russia in an effort to undermine confidence in the integrity of the election.

Raffensperger’s office had looked into the driver’s license of one of the alleged voters and concluded that it was fake.

Officials from the intelligence community have uncovered that Russia actors have already published an article claiming that U.S. officials were planning to commit fraud in swing states, as well as a video interview of a person claiming election fraud in Arizona.

These Russian-linked actors “are manufacturing videos and creating fake articles to undermine the legitimacy of the election, instill fear in voters regarding the election process, and suggest Americans are using violence against each other due to political preferences,” read the statement issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. “These efforts risk inciting violence, including against election officials.”

Last month, U.S. intelligence officials declassified a document warning that both Iran and Russia will be plotting violent protests after Election Day.

Russia and China have both rejected these allegations.
