U.S. officials warn of increased disinformation efforts after Election Day

U.S. adversaries may increase efforts to influence voters immediately after Election Day, rather than just before. Analysts warn that disinformation spread during this time could undermine public confidence in the election results. Concerns focus on the potential for misleading content, such as altered videos or false claims, to circulate quickly after polls close. This could lead to real-world consequences before authorities can respond. While officials emphasize that the election system is secure, they acknowledge that foreign and domestic groups will continue to exploit social media to spread distrust. Improvements in election security are noted, but the threat of disinformation remains significant.
