Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, has warned of a disinformation campaign targeting Georgia ahead of the November 5 presidential election. He stated that a fake video, which has gone viral on multiple platforms, purports to show a black male claiming to be a Haitian migrant voting multiple times for Kamala Harris. Raffensperger believes the video is likely foreign interference linked to Russia, aiming to sow discord and chaos in the swing state. He has requested that social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), remove the video and has discussed the matter with state and federal authorities.
