On Friday afternoon, with only a few days left in the presidential race, the federal agencies that help safeguard American elections issued a warning to voters about a video that had been circulating online. It appeared to show immigrants voting illegally in Georgia, and U. S. intelligence officials had concluded that it was the latest in a series of fakes produced by “Russian influence actors.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “This Russian activity is part of Moscow’s broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the US election and stoke divisions among Americans,” read the statement from the FBI and two other federal agencies, who warned that Russia would continue to creating and spreading these fakes even in the weeks and months after the elections.

Few voters are as easily overlooked as Americans living outside the United States. This population–of émigres, military personnel, dual citizens, and people born outside the U.
