“They’re up to mischief, it seems. And they don’t want to give us a smooth, fair and accurate election and they think they can get us to fight among ourselves,” Raffensperger said. “They can count that as a victory. So that tells you, tells you a little bit about the Russians. They’re not our friends.”
Raffensberger did not elaborate on how exactly officials determined the threats came from Russia. The FBI has also stated that it’s aware of the incident.
