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.
