Georgia's top election official warns of fake online video: 'Likely foreign interference'

With just days until the election, Georgia's top election official warned Thursday that a fake video circulating online claiming to show voter fraud in the state is "likely foreign interference attempting to show discord and chaos on the eve of the election."

The video circulating on social media, according to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, purports to show a Haitian immigrant claiming to have voted multiple times with multiple state IDs.

"This is false," Raffensperger said of the video, calling it "targeted disinformation."

Raffensperger's statement said law enforcement is investigating, and added it is "likely" a product of Russian troll farms. Raffensperger called on social media companies to take the video down -- and specifically called out Elon Musk by name.

"As Americans, we can't let our enemies use lies to divide us and undermine our faith in our institutions -- or each other," he said.

Harris leans into prosecutor past in Nevada, doubles down on Trump's remarks about women

Vice President Kamala Harris vowed that "nothing in the world" will prevent her from fighting for Americans while speaking in Reno, Nevada, on Tuesday.

She referenced her time as a prosecutor in the neighboring state of California, saying, "A lot of folks here know I'm not afraid of tough fights."

"And it is my pledge to you that if you give me the chance to fight on your behalf as president, there is nothing in the world that will stand in my way of fighting for you," Harris added. "For the people."

During her first general election rally in the northern part of Nevada, she also criticized former President Donald Trump's comments on protecting women.

"He said, on the issue of freedom of choice, reproductive freedom, he said that he will do what he wants because, quote, he -- this is his perspective -- he will do it 'whether the women like it or not,' 'whether the women like it or not,'" Harris said. "Can you imagine?"

"He does not believe women should have authority or agency over their own bodies. This is the same person who said that women should be punished for their choices," she said, echoing remarks that she'd made at campaign stops throughout the day. "This is someone who simply does not respect the freedom of women, or the intelligence of women to make decisions about their own lives."

She closed out the rally with a phrase she's employed over the past several days, telling those in the crowd that "in less than 90 days, either he or I will be sitting in the Oval Office," explaining that while Trump will walk into that room with an enemies list, she is prepared to walk in with a to-do list.

Although Harris' remarks were interrupted a few times by protestors, she addressed them saying, "We're here because we're fighting for a democracy."

She said it was "okay" and "all right" for them to protest at the event, because "we're fighting for the right to be heard and not be jailed for speaking their mind."

"We know what's at stake," Harris assured.

Trump delivers low-energy remarks at second campaign stop in Nevada

At his second campaign stop of the day, former President Donald Trump was set to make his final pitch to voters from the populous Las Vegas metropolitan area just five days ahead of Election Day.

But Trump seemed noticeably low energy Thursday evening as his speech gradually strayed from his key campaign messaging to ramble about topics like his social media company.

Despite this, Trump repeatedly bashed Vice President Kamala Harris for appearing tired, while touting that he has been campaigning for 62 days in a row.

"Five days -- I can't wait. You know what? I've worked for 62 days in a row. I haven't taken a day off," Trump said at the rally. "I looked at her today. She was trying to justify the fact that they called us all garbage. And I watch her do news coverage. She's exhausted. She's finished," he said of Harris.

Philly DA requests Musk case to be sent to state court

The ongoing court battle between Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and billionaire Trump surrogate Elon Musk over his controversial $1 million voter giveaway has taken another turn.

On Wednesday, Musk filed a motion to move Krasner's lawsuit to federal court, claiming the DA's allegations "turn principally on the allegation that Defendants are somehow unlawfully interfering with a federal election."

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner takes part in a news conference in Philadelphia, Monday, March 11, 2024.

Krasner filed an emergency motion in federal court Thursday asking the judge to "immediately" send the case back to state court -- asking them to do so by the end of day "if at all possible" so it can continue in state court.

In the filing, the DA's team said Musk's claims are "meritless" and reiterated that their lawsuit makes "only state law claims," therefore making it not subject to federal removal.

The DA said Musk's last-minute effort is "a stunt to obtain a procedural advantage to avoid a ruling ... and run the clock until election day."

Judge Gerald J. Pappert ordered Musk to respond to the DA's filing by 10 a.m. Friday, meaning the case will remain halted until then.
