Cette vidéo montre la destruction des bulletins de vote par correspondance en faveur de Trump dans le comté de Bucks en Pennsylvanie.

Publisher’s rating: La vidéo est fausse. Cela a été confirmé à la fois par le conseil électoral et le bureau du procureur de Bucks County, ainsi que la branche locale du Parti républicain.

Bucks County’s election board said the materials shown were not authentic county election documents, and the district attorney’s investigation concluded the video was fabricated to undermine voter confidence. The county Republican committee also challenged the video, citing discrepancies in the envelopes’ color, paper, and return-address details.
