[Lauren]

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 – WHO SAYS IT WAS LIKELY PRODUCED BY WHAT HE CALLED “RUSSIAN TROLL FARMS.”

HERE’S A LOOK AT THE VIDEO THAT’S MAKING THE ROUNDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 

we are from Haiti we came to America 6 months ago … and we already have our American citizen ship … we are voting Kamala Harris … yesterday we voted in Gwinnett County and today we are voting in Fulton County … we have all our documents… drivers license and we invite all Haitians to come to America and bring families.

THE ORIGINAL VIDEO FROM AN UNKNOWN ‘X’ USER GOT MORE THAN 1 MILLION VIEWS IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS PEOPLE SHARED IT. 

THE ORIGINAL VIDEO HAS SINCE BEEN DELETED.

IN A STATEMENT LATE THURSDAY … RAFFENSPERGER SAID –

“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.”

RAFFENSBERGER DID NOT GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT HOW HE SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED THE VIDEO IS FAKE.

HE SAYS HE IS WORKING WITH STATE AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES TO INVESTIGATE THE VIDEO FURTHER.

HE’S ALSO CALLING ON ELON MUSK AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA LEADERS TO HAVE ALL OF THE VIDEO RE-POSTS REMOVED. 

IN GEORGIA — EARLY VOTING TURNOUT HAS ALREADY SHATTERED PREVIOUS RECORDS SET DURING THE 20-20 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
