Russia behind video claiming election fraud in Georgia, intelligence officials say

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) A video circulating on social media claiming that people from Haiti voted illegally in Georgia is “targeted disinformation” meant to create doubt in the election, said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

“This is false, and is an example of targeted disinformation we’ve seen this election. It is likely foreign interference attempting to sow discord and chaos on the eve of the election,” Raffensperger said.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency released a joint statement Friday that the video appeared to be part of a Russian influence operation.
