Russian Trolls Behind Viral Georgia Voting Video

A video falsely depicting Haitian immigrants illegally voting multiple times for Kamala Harris in Georgia has been identified as a Russian disinformation effort, according to U.S. authorities including the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger debunked the video, labeling it as 'targeted disinformation' likely produced by Russian troll farms. Raffensperger is collaborating with state and federal officials to trace the video's origins and has urged social media platforms like X to remove it. The disinformation campaign is part of a broader strategy to incite discord and undermine confidence in the electoral process ahead of the 2024 election. This video is among several disinformation attempts, including a separate false bribery allegation against Kamala Harris. Authorities are emphasizing the need to combat such foreign interference to protect electoral integrity.
