A video claiming a group of Haitians illegally voted for Vice President Kamala Harris in Georgia was likely the work of Russian troll farms working to sow doubts about the U.S. election, Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said late Thursday.
The roughly 20-second video shared by far-right election conspiracists shows a man claiming to have voted illegally in both Fulton and Gwinnett counties.
Raffensperger’s office looked up the driver’s license of one of the alleged voters and determined it was a fake. He urged Twitter owner Elon Musk, a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, and other social media tycoons to take down the post.
“As Americans we can’t let our enemies use lies to divide us and undermine faith in our institutions — or each other,” Raffensperger said in a statement.
