The U.S. is one of 27 countries that have faced Russian election meddling, and the others offer strategies for how to fight back. Reports indicate that Russian disinformation campaigns are once again targeting the U.S. presidential election, propping up the campaigns of President Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders in a bid to sow division among voters in the already emotionally trying state of American politics. But while an NPR poll in January found that 1 in 6 Americans think foreign interference is the biggest threat to U.S. elections, some are ignoring a fact that could hugely help efforts to fight back: The U.S. is just one of 27 countries across Europe and North America victimized by Russian political meddling since 2004. |
