DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Dead people vote for Democratic Party candidates in the US

SUMMARY

Even death in the US is not an obstacle for voting for the Democratic Party candidate. After the 2020 elections, 1,800,000 'dead souls' in the lists of registered voters in 29 states were found. It is not difficult to guess who the dead people voted for four years ago. These votes were more than enough for Joe Biden to win.

RESPONSE

Disinformation claim, repeated after already being debunked in 2020.

In 2020, the claim about "examples of electoral districts where there are more names on the voter lists than living citizens with the right to vote" was one of the most popular on pro-Kremlin and other Russian state-controlled outlets.
