U.S. officials warn of increased misinformation efforts from adversaries after Election Day

U.S. adversaries may increase efforts to influence voters immediately after Election Day, rather than before. Analysts warn that misinformation could spread rapidly during this time, potentially undermining public confidence in the election results. Concerns focus on the risk of misleading content, such as manipulated videos or false claims about voting fraud. This could lead to real-world actions before authorities can respond, especially in closely contested elections. 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.
