WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence authorities have identified “Russian influence actors” as being behind a misleading video that falsely alleges election fraud in Georgia.

This revelation comes as part of ongoing investigations into foreign interference in U.S. elections, highlighting the persistent risks to the electoral process from external entities.

The video in question has been distributed widely and is part of a broader pattern of disinformation tactics employed by these actors, aimed at undermining trust in the electoral system.

Officials emphasize the importance of vigilance against such misinformation campaigns, particularly as elections draw closer and the stakes increase.

As part of their effort to counteract these narratives, intelligence agencies are working to ensure that the public receives accurate information regarding the electoral process and its integrity.

This situation serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges posed by foreign influence and the need for robust measures to protect democratic institutions.
