No surprise, but be diligent. "foreign nations were trying to influence US voters via social and traditional media, using issues including the coronavirus pandemic and domestic protests as disinformation fodder."

Im just curious - how do you "influence a voter"? Are influenced voters going to the poles and choosing candidates that they would have never otherwise chosen? Seems rather fantastical. I think the public sees and understands their own experiences. When we don't have a single ICU floor in NJ taken up bu COVID patients and we were told that we would pass through phases of reopening when we flattened the curve but restaurants are operating in tents on corners as a 3rd world bizarre - I don't think those voters have been influenced beyond the facts they experienced.
