Michigan Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, has raised concerns about potential foreign interference in the upcoming election, particularly from Russia and China. The focus of these foreign entities is not to manipulate voting systems but rather to influence voters' perceptions and sow doubt about the integrity of the electoral process.
Secretary Benson emphasized the importance of empowering citizens to critically evaluate information they encounter, whether it be through artificial intelligence or other forms of misinformation. By equipping individuals to discern and reject false narratives, both foreign and domestic actors can be thwarted in their attempts to undermine confidence in the democratic process.
