In about 15 minutes, President Trump pulled the Campaign Rally with voters and supporters in des moines, iowa. A portion of washington journal on Election Security. We are back with david, a Global Fellow Wilson Center and author of Great America russia in 100 years of electoral interference. Here to discuss the book on the history of russias electoral affairs. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Im excited to be here. What prompted you to write this book . I was alarmed when, after 2016, so many commentators and analysts tweeted interference in the 2016 election as unprecedented somehow. To me, when something is treated as unprecedented, it suggests theres no historye behind it suggesting its easy to create myths and lies about something so what i do is restore history to the subject and devote the dangerous myth that this is all combined to the 2016 election. Soviet Union Interference election, the cia and during the cold war, russia is and is interfering all over the world today
Only 12 miles east of where hurricane laura made landfall. It did make landfall as a category two, and the forecast appears to have been quite accurate as a relates to the searc wind and rain. Highest totals were in lake charles. Additionally the baton rouge area received over 10 inches of rain in the same time. , evenas a very big storm if it was not as powerful as hurricane laura. It was bigger. It is obvious the hardest hit areas appeared to be southwest of louisiana. Obviously this was a serious, that, powerful storm produced significant amounts of damage. Alreadye get there, we know there will be damage in southwest louisiana that will be very difficult to differentiate what was cause by hurricane laura and what was caused by hurricane delta, but we know tens of thousands of inisiana and as we speak are a difficult situation, and we will do everything we can working with federal and local partners to make sure we are addressing their needs as soon as we also became your the thanna
About something so what i do in this book is i restore history to the subject of covert electoralinterference. I debunk as myth that this is confined to the 2016 election. I show how the soviet union interfered in elections during the postwar period and how they went toe to toe during the cold war, how russia is interfering in elections all over the world today and only then to do i 2 examine 2016 and its aftermath because at the moment russia is actively interfering in the 20 20 election and to me by restoring that history to Public Discourse and by preceding the fact that this is not all new we can prepare for and defend against this threat in a much more effective and comprehensive way. What is new about what russia is doing and what are they doing that theyve always done . Whats new here . I would say whats not new is the idea of russia covertly interfering in the us election area as i detail in the book russia targeted, the soviet union targeted americas 1960, 68 and 84 elections
