A network of accounts on the social media site X is claiming to be foreign nationals who have illegally voted in the U.S. presidential election, according to new research from the nonprofit Institute for Strategic Dialogue.
The accounts have multiple signatures that suggest they are coordinated, drawing the attention of researchers in the final stretch of election.
Some of the accounts have shared images of ballots alongside passports, including from countries that no longer exist, including the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and Prussia, the disinformation and extremism research organization reported. The accounts are reinforcing baseless narratives about voter fraud promoted by former President Donald Trump and his allies. The most popular post, sporting an image of a French passport, has racked up more than 12 million views on X, formerly Twitter.
To sow doubt to fit their narrative that when they lose the election it was rigged against them.
The right is literally at war with democracy, except instead of guns they’re flinging bullshit.
