Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) on Thursday asked Elon Musk, the owner of X, previously known as Twitter, and leaders of other social media platforms to remove a fake video from their sites, which he claimed is most likely a “production of Russian troll farms.”
The video, which has gone viral, purports to show a Haitian immigrant who allegedly moved to the U.S. six months ago holding multiple Georgia driver’s licenses and claiming to have voted multiple times in the 2024 election for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Raffensperger debunked the video.
“This is false and is an example of targeted disinformation we’ve seen in this and other elections,” Raffensperger said in a statement. “It is likely foreign interference attempting to sow discord and chaos on the eve of the 2024 Presidential election.”
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has called on social media companies to remove a fake video with “targeted disinformation” related to the election from their platforms.
