U.S. officials are worried about Russia interfering with 2022 midterm elections

Homeland Security officials are worried that Russia may create conflict during the November 2022 midterm elections, CNN reports.

However, as of now, U.S. officials say that this situation is hypothetical.

Potential breaches: Officials are worried that if Russia does interfere, a situation like this could take place:

“Russian hackers breach a local county voter registration system, making sure to get detected. They would then post information and proudly take responsibility rather than blame third-party hackers, as they did in 2016,” per CNN.
