Verdict: Misleading

This news clip refers to a 2023 incident and has nothing to do with the 2024 election.

Fact check:

The 2024 presidential election will be held on November 5th between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Multiple polls suggest the race is effectively tied, according to NBC News.

In the post of X, news report Regarding the anonymous man from Boston’s NBC10 who claimed he was not allowed to vote in person, officials said he had already voted. They show home security camera footage of an anonymous woman removing a ballot from a man’s mailbox at his home in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The report also reveals a second woman who also claims her signature was forged on her mail-in ballot, which also prevented her vote from being counted.

While this news report is completely legitimate, X’s post highlighting it is misleading. These incidents of voter fraud occurred in 2023 and have nothing to do with this year’s election. The same video can be found on NBC10. YouTube If you look at the channel, you’ll see that it was uploaded 11 months ago, before the 2024 presidential election.

Two women, Fidelina Santiago and Jennifer Lopez, were indicted on 16 charges, including obstruction of voting and conspiracy to vote illegally. Actually Santiago won her election In the case of the Lawrence City Councilman, it appears both lawsuits are still pending.

It is unclear whether the unnamed woman who was seen looking into the man’s mailbox and stealing his ballot was involved in Santiago and Lopez’s alleged scheme.
