Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold will expand efforts to combat foreign influence in November’s general election with a new misinformation initiative, she announced Tuesday.

The initiative encourages voters to access accurate information and fight the spread of false information with digital outreach and a website identifying foreign misinformation.

“Foreign adversaries are conducting influence operations to try to undermine Americans’ confidence in the electoral process,” Griswold said. “States must act.”

Last month, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned that cybercriminals and foreign actors will likely try to undermine the U.S.’s election results by spreading misinformation.

The FBI and CISA said groups might try to exploit the increased count time as a result of mail-in ballots this year, spreading rumors of voter fraud, cyberattacks or voter suppression.

“The FBI and CISA urge the American public to critically evaluate the sources of the information they consume and to seek out reliable and verified information from trusted sources, such as state and local election officials,” the announcement said.

Misinformation tactics include spreading disinformation on fake websites, altering existing legitimate websites, sending fraudulent emails or releasing articles in fake online journals.

In response to this warning, Griswold created the Rapid Response Election Security Cyber Unit over the summer to combat foreign misinformation and cyber threats.

Studies show fighting misinformation requires the public to be aware of the threat so that they may think critically about the information they see.

RESCU is working in coordination with government and non-government partners to advance the misinformation initiatives and public outreach.

“Colorado is considered the safest state in which to cast a ballot, and we continually innovate to maintain our leading cyber preparedness,” Griswold said. “It’s important that voters have accurate election information.”

The Colorado Secretary of State’s office is also working on additional election security measures with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.
