There’s no doubt that Russia interfered with the 2016 US election, and there’s no doubt that Russia is working hard to interfere in the 2020 US election. This isn’t a partisan issue — nor is it the same thing as collusion — it’s a fact. And it’s something that every American, regardless of political persuasion, should be concerned about. But many of us might be surprised to learn that this isn’t a new problem, as historian David Shimer explains in his new book: Rigged: America, Russia, and One Hundred Years of Covert Electoral Interference. On this episode, we’ll talk to David about what Russia’s real goal is in interfering not only with elections in the United States, but in democratic elections around the world. We’ll learn about the covert strategies and tactics that Russia has used against our electoral process for the past century, and the disinformation campaigns it uses to sow division among the US populace — bolstered by the widespread use of popular technologies like smartphones that allow us to communicate with each other from virtually anywhere on Earth.
