If the current investigation into the Facebook scandal involving fake Russian ads has proven anything, it’s that Russia has unequivocally interfered with the 2016 presidential elections. According to recent reports, some of the biggest targets of the ads were Michigan and Wisconsin, which were crucial in securing Donald Trump his victory. The investigation also revealed that future elections are still at risk.
Up to four sources familiar with the matter have revealed to CNN that many of the Russian ads that ran on Facebook were specifically aimed at voters in Michigan and Wisconsin. The ads apparently employed sophisticated targeting strategies in an effort to influence key demographics during the elections.
Among the tactics employed included the promotion of anti-Muslim sentiments, which was just one of many divisive messages that served to muddle the conversation online. Based on how the results turned out, it was an effective tactic. According to Rep. Adam Schiff (D) who is a member of the House Intelligence Committee, they are still investigating which parts of the country the Russian ads were run.
"Obviously, we're looking at any of the targeting of the ads, as well as any targeting of efforts to push out the fake or false news or negative accounts against Hillary Clinton, to see whether they demonstrate a sophistication that would be incompatible with not having access to data analytics from the campaign," Schiff said. "At this point, we still don't know."
What the committee does know is that future elections could see further interference from Russia in much the same way, The Hill reports. This is what committee chairman Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said during the investigation.
"The Russian Intelligence Service is determined, clever, and I recommend that every campaign and every election official take this very seriously as we move into this November's election and as we move into preparation for the 2018 election," Sen. Burr warned.
