“At the least, this effort is intended to sow doubt about the security of our election and may well be intended to influence the outcomes,” the statement said. “We believe that orders for the Russian intelligence agencies to conduct such actions could come only from very senior levels of the Russian government.”
White House officials have repeatedly insisted that they are awaiting the outcome of a formal FBI investigation, even though U.S. intelligence are said to have concluded with “high confidence” that Russia was responsible for the DNC breach and other attacks.
They don't need Russia for scaremongering. Irregularities have happened before, and electronic voting has been proven to be insecure. Plus, all that aside, it's not like the US has never attempted to influence the elections of other countries.
