  The ongoing debate surrounding the impact of the Internet Research Agency s
(IRA) social media campaign during the 2016 U.S. presidential election has
largely overshadowed the involvement of other actors. Our analysis brings to
light a substantial group of suspended Twitter users, outnumbering the IRA user
group by a factor of 60, who align with the ideologies of the IRA campaign. Our
study demonstrates that this group of suspended Twitter accounts significantly
influenced individuals categorized as undecided or weak supporters, potentially
with the aim of swaying their opinions, as indicated by Granger causality.
