Russian influence actors are behind a fake Georgia voter-fraud video that's been circulating online, US intelligence officials said.

In a joint statement released Friday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said Russia made a false video purporting to show non-US citizens from Haiti illegally voting in multiple counties in Georgia.

In the video, a man claims that he and an unknown number of other people came to the US from Haiti six months ago, obtained US citizenship and licenses, and voted for Kamala Harris in Georgia's Gwinnett County and Fulton County. He holds up what appear to be fake licenses — all with the same ID picture — and invites "all Haitians to come to America and bring families."

The video has spread across multiple social-media sites, including X, with users calling out voter fraud in favor of Harris.

But it's all fake, and the result of Russian interference, intelligence officials said.

"This Russian activity is part of Moscow's broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the US election and stoke divisions among Americans, as detailed in prior ODNI election updates," the ODNI, FBI, and CISA said in the joint statement.

The agencies said that judgment is based on "information available" to them and on "prior activities of other Russian influence actors, including videos and other disinformation activities."

Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's secretary of state, posted on X Thursday, calling out the video as "obviously fake" and likely "a production of Russian troll farms."

In his statement, Raffensperger urged "Elon Musk and the leadership of other social media platforms to take this down."

More disinformation is likely to crop up before Election Day and beyond, intelligence officials warned.
