Protect Midterm Election Integrity Now, Publicly
Investigate and publicly call out the foreign influence operations targeting our midterm elections. A Russian propaganda network called Matryoshka has been using AI-cloned celebrity voices and counterfeit CNN branding to tell Democrats not to vote in November. No American government agency has publicly named it. That silence is a problem.
The mechanics here are documented. Researchers at Clemson University and volunteer group Antibot4Navalny caught the network. CNN gave one statement to a French wire service and said nothing more, even as its logo was being used to suppress votes. Meanwhile, all five major networks are now buying their election results from a single AP feed, including two networks the Ellison family now controls after the Skydance-Paramount deal closed October 6. One number wearing five different outfits is not five independent confirmations.
Our elections are counted by more than 10,000 local offices on paper that can be checked. That system is sound. What is not sound is letting a foreign government run voter suppression operations in plain sight while officials stay quiet. Speak up publicly, name what is happening, and push every relevant agency to do the same before November 3.
