Homeland Security secretary says Russian influence continues ahead of Super Tuesday
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf warned of Russia’s ongoing influence campaign ahead of Super Tuesday’s Democratic presidential primaries, but said there is no current “credible threat†to election infrastructure.
“Russia has an ongoing influence campaign to sow discord or distrust in our American democracy,†Wolf told CNN on Thursday while visiting a Mecklenburg County Board of Elections facility in North Carolina.
The Department of Homeland Security has said
it’s warning state and local officials about fake information, fake news and misinformation campaigns put out by Russia this primary season.
“We’re trying to provide as much information not only to state and local election officials, but to the voters themselves,†Wolf said. “I keep saying that federal government, we don’t run elections. We try to push as much information, tools, resources, to the local elections officials.â€
