The Guardian (a left-of-centre British newspaper) did something similar in 2004, getting volunteers to phone voters in battleground states imploring them to vote Democrat. If anything, this boosted the Republican vote, as random foreigners telling citizens who to vote for is not a good look.
Meanwhile, Russian propaganda is laundered through US sources backing Republicans
Unless they're Australian or South African billionaires that is.
See the difference is they're too stupid to know that
Only Americans get to tell other countries who they can and can't elect!
