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.
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.
"Yesterday, we voted in Gwinnett County, and today we're voting in Fulton County," the man says. "We have all our documents, driver's license. We invite all Haitians to come to America and bring families."
