Debunking Claims of Foreign Voting in the US Elections

Recent social media posts falsely claim that non-US citizens, particularly Germans, voted multiple times in the upcoming US elections without needing identification. These messages have garnered millions of views, often accompanied by misleading images. Experts clarify that in the US, only registered citizens can vote, emphasizing there is no evidence of substantial voter fraud. Such claims perpetuate mistrust in electoral processes, linking back to long-standing narratives from political figures like Donald Trump about widespread election misconduct, which current research has disproven. The situation raises concerns over the potential for misinformation to incite violence or unrest.
