Expert: The Real Goal of Russia and Iran Is Not to Change Votes, but to Undermine Trust
Published
Kurdish researcher Bradosti, who lives in the United States, explains the primary goal of Russia and Iran's election-related activities. According to Bradosti, these countries are not in a position to directly access the voting infrastructure in the United States. For this reason, he says, their main aim is not to change the outcome of the votes.
According to Bradosti's explanation, the disinformation activities carried out by foreign powers aim to reduce people's trust in the electoral system. Disinformation means the deliberate spread of false or misleading information. Bradosti emphasizes that such efforts are intended to influence public perception. In other words, they want to make people doubt whether elections are being conducted fairly.
This assessment shows how important information pollution is in elections. Alongside technically protecting the system, it is also of great importance that people can access accurate information. Bradosti's views serve as a reminder that information circulating on social media and news channels should be approached with greater caution.
