During the US elections, propagandists distributed a video on social networks that spoke of fraud at polling stations. The video shows a voter trying to vote for Republican Donald Trump, but the device records the choice in favor of Democrat Kamala Harris. However, this is manipulation.

This is reported by MythDetector. Its experts refer to Leadstories and Reuters, which claim that the incident occurred due to a technical error and was quickly fixed. The voter was able to vote for the desired candidate via video after replacing the device. This incident occurred in Laurel County, Kentucky, and received attention from local authorities, who said that the problem arose due to pressing on the intermediate area of the screen. In a statement, Tony Brown, Laurel County Clerk, noted that the voter was allowed to vote again. The election process assumes that each voter has the opportunity to receive a new ballot if he changes his choice after preliminary confirmation.

The authors of the material say that this is a manipulative attempt to discredit the electoral process in the United States.
