“Adversaries may try to accomplish their goals through a variety of means, including social media campaigns, directing disinformation operations or conducting disruptive or destructive cyber-attacks on state and local infrastructure.
Joint Statement posted by US Department of Justice, Nov 5, 2019
While at this time we have no evidence of a compromise or disruption to election infrastructure that would enable adversaries to prevent voting, change vote counts or disrupt the ability to tally votes, we continue to vigilantly monitor any threats to U.S. elections.”
As you begin to explore the impact of social media on the way information is shared and understood, please share with friends and relatives. The more educated we are about this type of threat, the less effective interference is to our democracy.
