The US government said on Wednesday that Iran was behind fake emails sent to intimate American voters ahead of the Nov. 3 presidential election.
As early as Tuesday, some voters in the election battleground state of Florida received threatening emails purportedly from the far-right Proud Boys group, which is known for clashing with Black Lives Matter protesters. The emails, which targeted Democrats, threatened people if they did not register as Republicans and vote for Trump. The senders claimed to have the recipients’ voter registration information, according to The Gainesville Sun.
