Verdict: False
The video is not real. Both the Georgia Secretary of State and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said the claims were false.
Fact check:
Social media users claim it shows Haitian immigrants with driver’s licenses voting.
“Haitians who entered the U.S. illegally claim they will receive all the necessary documents and driver’s licenses and be able to vote within 6 months! They have multiple Georgia driver licenses with the same photo on them. “He shows them a photo and claims he voted for Kamala Harris…” one post reads.
This claim is false. State and federal authorities have announced that the video is fake. For example, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said That video is fake He said this in a statement on October 31st.
“Earlier today, our office became aware of a video that claims a Haitian immigrant with multiple Georgia IDs has voted multiple times. “This is an example of targeted disinformation that we have seen, perhaps foreign interference seeking to sow discord and chaos on the eve of the 2024 presidential election,” Raffensperger’s statement read in part. states.
ODNI, FBI, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) joint statement It says the video is by “influential Russian actors.” (Related: Kamala Harris claims there was war in Europe ‘for the first time in 70 years’)
“The IC assesses that an influential Russian actor created a recent video that falsely depicted individuals who claimed to be of Haitian origin and who voted illegally in multiple counties in Georgia. is based on information available to the IC and previous activities of other Russian influence actors, including videos and other disinformation operations.The Georgia Secretary of State has already stated that the claims in the video are false. ” the ODNI statement reads in part.
As BBC Verify reporter Shayan Sardarizadeh pointed out, there are several problems with the video itself. For example, the driver’s license image is a stock photo and the address is commercial area and street Near a gas station. They are not residential areas.
In addition to containing a fake address, the driver’s license included in the video of a Haitian voting multiple times for Kamala Harris in Georgia actually says “a happy smiling African man.” It includes a photo, which is a stock photo in the title, and is credited to a South African company.
