China, Russia, and Iran are actively working to undermine the 2020 electoral process in the United States, according to the head of U.S. counterintelligence, William Evanina.

“At this time, we’re primarily concerned with China, Russia, and Iran—although other nation states and non-state actors could also do harm to our electoral process,” William Evanina, the director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC), said in a statement.
