The Department of Homeland Security issued an intelligence bulletin on Wednesday warning that Russia is now focusing disinformation attacks on the subject of mail-in voting, as our election process in the United States adapts to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Says DHS, "We assess that Russia is likely to continue amplifying criticisms of vote-by-mail and shifting voting processes amidst the COVID-19 pandemic to undermine public trust in the electoral process."

Seems about right. And, in harmony with Trump's latest messaging.
