Foreign adversaries, including Russia, Iran, and China, are intensifying their efforts to influence the US election as Election Day approaches, according to a report by Microsoft. Russian operatives are using fake videos to smear Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, while Chinese-linked social media campaigns are targeting down-ballot candidates critical of China. Iranian actors who allegedly sent intimidating emails to US voters in 2020 are also surveying election-related websites and media outlets. The report warns that the worst influence efforts may be yet to come, raising concerns about foreign efforts to influence voters in a tight election.
