Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said he expects “further interference and disinformation” in the wake of a viral video of alleged voter fraud that U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed was manufactured by “Russian influence actors.”
“We got enough that splits us. We don’t need to have the Russians or other bad actors try and split us further,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Friday.
“We prepared for it. But you can never prepare enough, because it seems like they never sleep. They got very clever minds, and they have their various devious people just trying to upset us. They probably don’t like us supporting Ukraine, and they just want to take a shot at us. And we can’t let them do that.”
Raffensperger’s office last month fended off a cyberattack believed to have come from a foreign country against the website voters use to request absentee ballots. There was no disruption to voters’ ability to request ballots.
