U.S. officials have determined Russia was behind a video that circulated online in recent days and that Georgia state election officials have labeled as disinformation. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said the video, which purports to show Haitians claiming that they illegally voted for Kamala Harris, is fake and likely the work of a Russian troll farm.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said the video, which purports to show Haitians claiming that they illegally voted for Kamala Harris, is fake and likely the work of a Russian troll farm.

In the video posted to social media on Thursday, a man claims that he and others featured in the footage are from Haiti, arrived in the United States six months ago, obtained U.S. citizenship within that time, and are voting for Kamala Harris in multiple Georgia counties.

The video is "targeted disinformation," Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said, as he specifically called on Elon Musk, the billionaire Donald Trump supporter, to take down the video. Raffensperger said his office is working with federal officials to investigate the video, which had more than half a million views on Musk's social media platform X as of Thursday night.

In a press release, Raffensperger said that "we ask Elon Musk and the leadership of other social media platforms to take this down," adding, "This is obviously fake and part of a disinformation effort. Likely it is a production of Russian troll farms."

Good luck with getting Musk to do anything that doesn't help his Russian asset, Trump. Ain't gonna happen.
