Russia and Iran are attempting to influence the 2020 elections and have obtained some voter registration information, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said at an FBI press conference on Wednesday. He noted that the registration information they obtained could be used to confuse voters through false communication. The Iranian interference that's been discovered, Ratcliffe said, has been designed to incite social unrest and damage the president. Although we have not seen the same actions from Russia, we are aware that they have obtained some voter information just as they did in 2016. The voter-intimidation operation apparently used email addresses obtained from state voter registration lists, which include party affiliation and home addresses and can include email addresses and phone numbers.
