US political money reportedly went to Indian bots to attract voters

US political money was directed to Indian bots to attract voters, according to the headline.

In August, videos appeared on social media ahead of a closely contested Democratic primary for a US Senate seat in Michigan.

The videos showed people expressing support for Representative Haley Stevens on the street.

They also discussed issues that mattered to them.

The videos linked online political messaging to a campaign contest, but the available details do not say who funded them or how the bots were used.

The primary was closely contested, and the information provided does not say what happened next.
