Foreign Governments Attempted to Influence 2022 U.S. Midterm Elections, Intelligence Report Reveals

China's Interference Efforts More Pronounced; No Material Impact on Election Infrastructure Detected

China, Russia, Iran and Cuba all attempted to influence the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, according to a declassified U.S. intelligence report.
China's efforts were more pronounced in 2022 than in previous years, with the country showing a greater willingness to interfere in the elections.
China targeted specific races and candidates, focusing on those perceived as anti-China and supporting those seen as pro-China.
Russia sought to denigrate the Democratic Party and undermine confidence in the election, likely to undermine U.S. support for Ukraine.
No evidence was found that any foreign government materially affected the security or integrity of any election infrastructure in the 2022 federal elections.
