Intel agencies found two more election-related fake videos made by Russian actors on social media. The clips spread false info about illegal voting in Georgia and fake bribery claims against Democrats

US security agencies found fresh evidence of foreign meddling in social-media: two fake videos traced back to Russian sources are trying to mess with the upcoming election

The first clip shows made-up stories about Haiti natives voting multiple times in Georgia counties (which never happened). Another video spreads false info about a Democratic candidate getting money from some show-biz person — its all fake according to the joint-statement from top US intel groups

The intelligence community confirms Russian actors created these deceptive materials

FBI‚ ODNI‚ and CISA joint statement

Just last week similar fake stuff popped up: a false video of someone tearing-up votes in Pennsylvania and another one with fake claims about Tim Walz supposedly hurting a student. Intel experts say Russia isnt working alone — China and Iran are also trying to cause trouble

The whole thing is part of a bigger plan to make Americans doubt their voting system: these countries use cyber-attacks and social-media tricks to spread doubt. Security folks say this wont stop when people start voting; these trouble-makers will keep pushing their fake news even as votes get counted
