Russian state-sponsored hackers who U.S. government agencies warn have been attempting to infiltrate U.S. state and local government computer networks “can’t change votes” in the Nov. 3 presidential election, White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien said on Oct. 25.

There is “nothing” foreign adversaries can do to change your vote in the computer network “or stop you from voting,” O’Brien said, during an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
