A viral video of what appears to show a Haitian migrant saying he voted multiple times is being called fake by Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. He said it was likely produced by what he called “Russian troll farms.”

The video showed a man who claimed to have moved to the United States from Haiti six months ago and had already gained citizenship. The man in the video claimed he has multiple state-issued identification cards and would be able to vote for Kamala Harris in multiple Georgia counties.

The man in the video then said, “We invite all Haitians to come to America and bring all families.”

The original video from an unknown X user got more than 1 million views in less than 24 hours after people shared it.

The original video has since been deleted.

“This is false, and is an example of targeted disinformation we’ve seen this election. It is likely foreign interference attempting to sow discord and chaos on the eve of the 2024 presidential election,” Raffensperger said in a statement.

Raffensperger didn’t go into detail about how he specifically determined the video is fake.

He said he’s working with the state and federal authorities to investigate the video further.

He also called on Elon Musk and other social media leaders to have all of the video reposts removed.

Early voting turnout in Georgia has already shattered previous records set during the 2020 presidential election.
