A disinformation campaign is using the unmoderated spaces of right-wing news website comment sections to push their narratives.
“Video has come out from Bucks County, Pennsylvania showing a ballot counter destroying ballots for Donald Trump and keeping Kamala Harris's ballots for counting,” an account called “Dan from Ohio” wrote in the comment section of the far-right website Gateway Pundit. “Why hasn't this man been arrested?” But Dan is not from Ohio, and the video he mentioned is fake.
“More bad news for the Dems: Breaking: Tim Walz's former student, Matthew Metro, drops a shocking allegation- claims Walz s*xually assaulted him in 1997 while Walz was his teacher at Mankato West High School,” the comments read. The links posted in the comments came hours before the video was shared on social media platforms like X, where it racked up millions of views. After the Bucks County video went viral, researchers quickly traced it back to Storm 1516.
