Yes. I would that say that actors other than foreign states are the main sources of mis- and disinformation. If you think about the perspective of an individual voter going through an election cycle, what's all the political information that he or she encounters? Almost none of it would be from any foreign actor. It would be from friends, families, community leaders, national politicians, local politicians and the news media. That is really the information environment in sum and substance. If any of those actors are spreading mis- and disinformation, as is frequent, that would be the primary problem facing democracies.
