The claim
Actor Will Smith’s late father “has voted here [Philadelphia] twice since he died.”
Original publisher’s rating
The Philadelphia city government told us that ahead of elections in the city in 2016, Smith Snr sent in an absentee ballot and then died one day prior to the election. The 2016 election code allowed these votes to be counted. There is no record of Smith Snr having voted after this.
