FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

U.S. Attorney General William P. Barr, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf, Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray, U.S. Cyber Command Commander and National Security Agency Director Gen. Paul Nakasone, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher Krebs today released the following joint statement:

“Tomorrow, millions of voters in more than a dozen states and territories will cast their votes in presidential primaries. ‘Super Tuesday’ will see more Americans head to the polls than any other day of the primary season. We continue to work with all 50 states, U.S. territories, local officials, political parties and private sector partners to keep elections free from foreign interference.

“Americans must also remain aware that foreign actors continue to try to influence public sentiment and shape voter perceptions. They spread false information and propaganda about political processes and candidates on social media in hopes to cause confusion and create doubt in our system. We remain alert and ready to respond to any efforts to disrupt the 2020 elections. We continue to make it clear to foreign actors that any effort to undermine our democratic processes will be met with sharp consequences.

“The level of coordination and communication between the federal government and state, local and private sector partners is stronger than it’s ever been. Our Departments and Agencies are working together in an unprecedented level of commitment and effort to protect our elections and to counter malign foreign influence, but voters have a role to play too.

“We encourage all voters going to the polls to check your voter registration and know ahead of time when to vote, where to vote, what’s on your ballot, and whether your state requires identification. Your state or local election official’s office is the most trusted source for election material. A well-informed and vigilant republic is the best defense against disinformation.”

As usual, many of the comments on this thread are of the opinion that Trump actually didn’t win and that Hitlery must be president.

Why did they leave out the corrupt media, they do the same thing?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think the corrupt media are foreign actors. I believe that foreign actors did try to influence 2017 - in favor of Hillary Clinton. She had pay for play arrangements going on around the world with so many nations that they needed her to win. WHen she lost - those countless massive donations to the "Clinton Foundation" mysteriously dried up. No more oceans of money from foreign countries wanting/buying favors.

I worry more about “domestic” interference, than foreign.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think they are one and the same. Our deep state is foreign owned and operated. Biden, Hillary, Obama etc. serve foreign countries even as they serve themselves and their the ones with entire nations (e.g., Ukraine) willing to put state assets (computer hacking, etc.) into stealing it for their pawns.

Maybe its because I dont spend any time on Facebook or the other places where this ‘foreign interference’ might occur, but I have yet to see any tangible evidence of any effective foreign influence on elections.

Its like Corona virus scare vs a real historical plague. Are people just stupid? Oh...yeah...never mind.

Like all psychology— the statistics come into question. Actual numbers, provable.
Don’t doubt, 10s of thousands of dumba@@es with mobile phones have their mind changed by the slightest “factoids”. Which was really his point.... and quite valid. The affect of tech media to be sold to idiots as .... truth.
