DISINFO: Voices of the dead used in US elections

SUMMARY

Trump has changed the historic political course of the United States, and even those who came to power using the voices of the dead people will now have to base their domestic and foreign policies on the reference point created by this eccentric New York billionaire.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin media are spreading disinformation about the 2020 US elections. Read more here.

Similar claims have been circulating on social media in the US and have been extensively debunked both by fact-checkers and media organizations. (See also here and here).

According to FactCheck.org, in some cases it is conceivable that a relatively small number of people die in the period between when they sent in a mail-in ballot and Election Day. More commonly, claims about large numbers of votes from deceased people turn out to be due to list-matching or clerical problems, such as confusing two people with identical or similar names.

However there is no basis to claim that huge numbers of deceased "voted" in the election.

The same article contains another disinformation message about Hilary Clinton publishing a strategy which can be considered as a "deep state" programme to restore US hegemony in the world.
