Harris and Trump focus on battleground states entering final weekend of campaign

Laura Barron-Lopez:

In the final days, Trump’s campaign has steadily ramped up lies about election fraud.

It all comes as foreign adversaries are interfering. This video that circulated on X purports to show Haitian immigrants illegally voting for Harris in several counties in Georgia. U.S. intelligence officials said today the video was manufactured by Russian influence actors to — quote — “raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the U.S. election and stoke divisions among Americans.”

Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger called the video of Haitian’s voting — quote — “obviously fake,” and urged Elon Musk and other social media leaders to take down such disinformation.

On the campaign trail, it’s full speed ahead before the polls close on Tuesday. Both candidates will end their nights in the Milwaukee area, the heart of the Badger State, where polls say it’s a complete toss-up.
