This is a video posted on social media ahead of the U.S. presidential election.

In Georgia, Haitian immigrants say they voted twice for Vice President Kamala Harris.

The controversy grew as it spread on the Internet as evidence of fraudulent elections, but it was all fake news.

An anonymous influencer supporting Trump told CNN that he posted these videos for $100 from a Russian agent.

The FBI and other authorities have issued statements suggesting that adversaries abroad, especially Russia, are attempting to shake things up with disinformation.

Following the 1st, he warned of the spread of fake news from Russia again.

They cited the fact that officials in contending states are manipulating votes and that Democrats are voting for Harris by manipulating overseas voters.

Intelligence authorities said there are still reports from all over the place.

Intelligence officials predicted Russia would try to induce social unrest by spreading fake news on social media not only on election day but also in the weeks after.

Meanwhile, Russia, which has been blamed for the fake news, says it "does not care about the outcome of the US presidential election."

The Russian government pointed out that no matter who is elected, the U.S. anti-Russian tendencies are bipartisan.
