Democrat lawmakers say Russia is aiming to undermine party ahead of midterms

Democratic lawmakers said Russia is targeting their party before the midterm elections, though they noted that no country is currently attempting the technically difficult task of hacking election infrastructure or tampering with votes directly.

Why it matters: U.S. political parties and election security officials need to monitor foreign interference campaigns and distinguish between disinformation efforts and actual infrastructure attacks.
