A federal grand jury in Washington, DC has indicted 13 Russian nationals and a Kremlin-linked internet firm on charges that they had meddled in the 2016 presidential election.
The US government said Russian entities began interfering in US political processes, including the 2016 presidential election, as early as 2014, according to a court document.
[...] The charges – which include conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft – are the most direct allegations to date of illegal Russian meddling in the election.

It's identity theft. (not election interference... unless you go vote)
It's wire fraud. (not election interference)
It's conspiracy to defraud. (not election interference)
So, if we're going to care about that stuff, there are a few million people in the USA right now who are committing identity theft.

Using identity theft to interfere with an election is election interference.
Using wire fraud to illegally donate to a political campaign is election interference.
Using a conspiracy to hide the fact that you are illegally interfering in an election is election interference.
