Franklin Foer: “Having probed state voting systems far more extensively than that is generally understood by the public, they are now surely more capable of mayhem on Election Day – and possibly without leaving a detectable trace of their handiwork. Having hacked into the inboxes of political operatives in the U.S. and abroad, they’ve pioneered new techniques for infiltrating campaigns and disseminating their stolen goods.”
“Even as to disinformation, the best-known and perhaps more overrated of their tactics, they have innovated, finding new ways to manipulate Americans and to poison the nation’s politics. Russia’s interference in 2016 might be remembered as the experimental prelude that foreshadowed the attack of 2020.”
