‘Dozens, if not hundreds’ of Russian troll farms are still operating in the U.S. right now: report
Russian troll farms are not necessarily a thing of the past, a new report reveals.
According to McClatchy, “dozens, if not hundreds of troll networks” run by Russian operatives — many of which appear to be operating out of other countries like Albania, Cyprus and Macedonia — are still operating in the US, Michael Carpenter, an ex-Obama Defense Department official specializing in Russia, told the news network.
These revelations come from a Russian-language report published on Tuesday that exposed the existence of what may be the largest “troll farm” yet — a St. Petersburg outfit where “80 to 90 employees devoted their time solely to posing as Americans and trying to lure U.S. citizens to interact with them.”

America is on pace for record-shattering early voter turnout — including in critical states: report
On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that voters are casting early ballots in numbers on track to set a historic record — including in some critical battleground states.
"Early-voting counts suggest a record level of civic participation before Election Day. The tens of millions of ballots already cast show highly enthusiastic voters are making sure their votes are counted amid a pandemic," said the report.
15.8 million people in battleground states have already voted, and in some states, like Michigan and Wisconsin, more people have voted early so far than did in the entire early voting period of 2016. In North Carolina, meanwhile, 2 million ballots have been cast — more than double the same amount at this point in 2016.
