            What Russians have been up to ahead of 2018 U.S. midterm vote


            By The Associated Press
            As  Americans  prepare  for
            another  election,  Russian
            troublemakers have again
            tried  to  divide  U.S.  voters
            and discredit democracy.
            The  activity  appears  fo-
            cused  on  abuse  of  social
            media, through American-
            looking posts and sites, in-
            stead  of  big  cyberattacks
            or  disrupting  voting  sys-
            tems. So far, it's more mod-
            est than the influence cam-
            paign Russia is accused of
            carrying  out  in  2016,  and
            Russia is not alone — it's just
            one  source  of  online  ma-
            nipulation  ahead  of  Tues-
            day's  election.  Russia  de-
            nies interference, and may
            not  be  able  to  affect  the
            outcome anyway, but has
            reason  to  be  interested  in
            the election result. U.S. of-
            ficials  and  tech  compa-
            nies  are  trying  to  improve
            election security and fight
            disinformation  campaigns     In this Monday, July 16, 2018, file photo, U.S. President Donald Trump, left, and Russian President Vladimir Putin shake hands at the
