The interference crackdown included the seizure of 32 Russian internet domains allegedly tied to efforts to spread “Russian propaganda” and bolster Russian interests, including those related to the election. According to Peter Feaver, professor of political science and director of the Duke Program in American Grand Strategy, although “it's doubtful that [foreign interference] could swing millions and millions of votes … if the election is very tight and comes down to small numbers in certain key swing states, then it could have an outsized impact.” The election’s outcome could significantly dictate American support for Ukraine, including military aid, intelligence sharing and diplomatic backing, according to Jon Green, assistant professor of political science.
