| FBI says Iran behind threatening emails sent to Florida Democrats |
| 2020-10-22 |
| [NBC News] Iran and Russia had obtained some Americans' voter registration information, said John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence. Iranian intelligence was responsible for a recent campaign of emails sent to intimidate Florida voters, the FBI announced Wednesday night, adding that Russia was also working to influence the election. The emails, which ominously instructed Democratic voters in Florida to switch to the Republican Party, purported to come from the Proud Boys, the right-wing group of Trump supporters that became a flashpoint during the first presidential debate. But the emails were actually "spoofed" and had been designed "to incite social unrest and damage President Trump," said John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence. Ratcliffe did not explain how the emails were damaging to Trump, because they were urging Democrats to switch to the Republican Party. Many states, including Florida, make voters' information, including their names and party affiliations, easily accessible to members of the public who request it. Both Iran and Russia had obtained some Americans' voter registration information, Ratcliffe said.
