Two days before the 2016 presidential election, an Instagram account called @woke_blacks posted a message in support of long-shot Green Party candidate Jill Stein, NBC News reports.
Said the post: The excuse that a lost Black vote for Hillary is a Trump win is bs. It could be late, but yall might want to support Jill Stein instead.
According to a report commissioned by the Senate, the account was a fake, part of the Russian campaign to sway the 2016 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. The report was one of two that leaked this week saying the Russian effort to disrupt the election specifically targeted black voters and harnessed Americas top social media platforms. But the reports contained another finding that was largely overlooked the Russians also focused on boosting Steins candidacy through social media posts like the one from @woke_blacks.
