Foreign Election Influence

Threat reports from tech firms and independent monitors offer a glimpse of how foreign adversaries are changing tactics.

The depletion of staff and resources at various agencies leaves the government underprepared to respond to attempts to influence elections by China, Russia, and others.

As China, Iran, and Russia leverage AI tools and the Trump administration buys in to disinformation, voters and election officials must be more vigilant than ever.

While both are serious threats, they are distinct problems that require distinct solutions — and neither justifies a federal takeover of elections.
