  • Iran and Russia have taken specific actions to influence public opinion relating to our elections.

  • First, we have confirmed that some voter registration information has been obtained by Iran and separately by Russia.

  • This data could be used by foreign actors to attempt to communicate false information to registered voters that they hope will cause confusion so chaos and undermine your confidence in American democracy.

  • To that end, we have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, insight, social unrest and damage.

  • President Trump.

  • You may have seen some reporting on this in the last 24 hours, or you may have even been one of the recipients of those emails.

  • Additionally, Iran is distributing other content to include a video that implies that individuals could cast fraudulent ballots even from overseas.

  • This video and any claims about such allegedly fraud fraudulent ballots are not true.

  • We are not going to tolerate foreign interference in our elections or any criminal activity that threatens the sanctity of your vote or undermines public confidence in the outcome of the election when we see indications of foreign interference or federal election crimes, we're going to aggressively investigate and work with our partners to quickly take appropriate action.

  • We're also coordinating with the private sector, both technology and social media companies to make sure that their platforms aren't used by foreign adversaries to spread disinformation and propaganda.

  • We've been working for years as a community to build resilience in our election infrastructure, and today that infrastructure remains resilient.

  • You should be confident that your vote counts early.

  • Unverifiable claims to the contrary should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism we encourage ever see.

With that in mind, we would like to alert the public that we have identified that to foreign actors.
