Feds say Russian disinformation campaign behind faked video of PA ballots being destroyed

A falsified video purporting to show mail-in ballots being destroyed and thrown away in Bucks County was a part of a Russian disinformation campaign, federal officials said Friday.

The video was posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter on Thursday, claiming to show a man tearing up mail-in ballots cast for former President Donald Trump, and GOP U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick.

The Bucks County Board of Elections issued a statement saying it was aware of the video and that it was fake, noting that the envelope and other materials were clearly not authentic.
