Recent video purportedly showing a man destroying ballots marked for Trump is a disinformation campaign, say officials

Russian actors were behind a viral video falsely showing mail-in ballots for Donald Trump being destroyed in the swing state of Pennsylvania, US officials said on Friday, amid heightened alert over foreign influence operations targeting the upcoming election.

The video, which garnered millions of views on platforms such as the Elon Musk-owned X, purports to show a man sorting through mail-in ballots from the state’s Bucks county and ripping up those cast for the former president.

      Was that supposed to be a spoiler tag? What client does that work with?

        I’m using sync. I just tapped the spoiler button and it inserted that. Is there a different way?

          Thanks! It doesn’t work through a regular web browser or with Voyager.

          Looks like it does work with Eternity as well though.
