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

U.S. adversaries may increase efforts to influence voters after Election Day, particularly as results are announced. Analysts warn that disinformation could spread rapidly, potentially undermining public confidence in the election process. Previous elections have shown that misleading claims can escalate quickly, especially in close races. False narratives about voting irregularities could provoke real-world actions, as seen in the aftermath of the 2020 election. Despite these threats, U.S. officials assert that the election system is secure and resilient against attempts to alter outcomes. Improvements have been made to ensure that malicious actors cannot significantly impact election results.
