It’s no secret that Russia has tried to influence elections around the world for many years.
But 2016 appeared to be banner year for the Russians when it came to the U.S. election.
FBI Director Christopher Wray, addressing a crowd of about 150 people at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York, said he expects the U.S. to be better prepared to deal with threats in the 2018 and 2020 elections, Max Kutner of Newsweek reports.
That’s the good news.
The bad news: He says anticipates Russia will also be better prepared to go at it again.
“We know a lot more now than we did about all the different threats, whether it’s to our election systems or anything else,” the director said when asked about Russia. “I would expect that we would do better, but I also expect that our adversaries don’t just coast, right? They up their game, too.”
