Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is warning voters to be cautious of “foreign bad actors” that will try to distract from the secure elections process, while also saying officials have not seen any evidence of interference, CNN reports.

“Don’t fall for it,” Benson said at a news conference.

“We know that they will use all sorts of misinformation and other tactics today and in the days ahead to create chaos, confusion, fear, division and sow seeds of doubt about what is a very clear, transparent and secure election process.”

Benson said her office has yet to see anything that’s blocking people from voting and assured voters that a robust team composed of 100 people spread out across the state is working to verify any problems.

“Once we hear something — and we’re monitoring everything that’s posted online — we actually physically go to those locations and see what’s going on,” Benson said.

“We have yet to see anything actually materialise, anything that’s been alleged online as an irregularity actually be true.”
