In the final weeks before the midterm elections, there was a proliferation of inauthentic activity on social media that sought to sow distrust in the election results, according to a new report.

An AI-powered software company called Cyabra maintains that the inauthentic activity did not change the outcome of any of the five elections listed in its report: the gubernatorial races in Ohio and Georgia and the Senate races in Michigan, Maine, and Kansas. Rather, the company’s concern rested primarily in how narrative attacks shaped public perception regarding these races, which, in turn, affect how journalists or pollsters may evaluate voter sentiment.
