The Register reports more than 5,000 domains related to the 2026 U.S. midterm elections have been registered, raising concerns about potential disinformation campaigns and election interference.
The Register reports more than 5,000 domains tied to the 2026 midterm elections have been registered. The sheer volume raises immediate red flags about what's being built on those domains—disinformation sites, fake news outlets, spoofed campaign pages, or coordination infrastructure for election interference.
Domain registration is cheap and fast, so volume alone doesn't prove intent. But 5,000 is beyond what a normal election cycle would require. Campaigns, news outlets, and watchdog groups might account for hundreds. Reaching 5,000 suggests someone or some group is preparing infrastructure at scale. The 2026 midterms are still over a year away, which means this activity is happening well in advance—early enough to build out content, test messaging, and prepare for distribution before anyone's paying full attention.
