Five categories, never conflated
The difference between these is the whole point. An attacked election is not the same as a falsified one.
The recorded numbers do not reflect the votes cast.
Process violationsUnequal media access, repression, illegal financing, vote buying, misuse of state resources.
Foreign interferenceCyberattacks, hack-and-leak, covert foreign financing, impersonation of media or institutions by a foreign state or proxy.
Information operationsTroll farms, fake local-media networks, covert political ads, coordinated inauthentic amplification — foreign or domestic.
Statistical anomaliesPatterns in the data worth examining — explicitly not proof of fraud.
A finding sits in exactly one category. Colors and icons carry the same meaning everywhere on the site.
From the case files
What was proven — and what was not
The clearest test of a trustworthy record is whether it can hold both statements at once.
United States 2016 Presidential Election
What is established
- Foreign interferenceConfirmed
The Russian government interfered in the election in what the Mueller Report called a “sweeping and systematic fashion”; the Intelligence Community assessed that President Putin ordered an influence campaign that developed a preference for candidate Trump.
- Information operationsConfirmed
The Internet Research Agency ran a social-media operation impersonating Americans and buying political ads; 13 Russian nationals and three entities were indicted in February 2018.
What is not established
- Result falsificationDebunked
That vote tallies were altered or voting machines manipulated — not established. DHS assessed the systems Russian actors targeted were not involved in vote tallying, and the Senate Committee saw no evidence votes were changed.
- Information operationsAlleged
That the interference changed the outcome — not established. The Intelligence Community explicitly made no assessment of the campaign’s impact on the result.
