In these last days before the elections, misinformation could be flooding your social networks.

Even before a single vote has been counted, Pennsylvania is ground zero for false claims of election interference.

The CBS News Confirmed team is examining videos and claims as quickly as they appear on social media to verify if they are real.

TO viral video that claims to show Bucks County election workers tearing up ballots was posted by an account with a history of spreading Russian disinformation, CBS News Confirmed has discovered.

It’s not the first, and officials from the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warn it won’t be the last before and after Election Day.

This week, a video of a USPS employee delivering mail was falsely said to show voter fraud in Northampton County, Pennsylvania.

But the US Postal Service told CBS News it confirmed the man. seen in the video While dropping off ballots at a Pennsylvania polling station, he is an employee delivering a routine bucket of mail. This followed claims on social media that the man was carrying out election fraud.

The video shows a person questioning the man’s actions as he dropped off ballots at the Northampton County Courthouse, saying they seemed “suspicious.”

A USPS spokesperson and Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure told CBS News that the man in the video is an employee at the Easton Post Office.

“It’s an attempt to create election misinformation,” McClure said. “The mere fact that a lie is shared millions of times on a social media platform does not make it truth or news.”

Videos posted online and taken out of context are proving to be some of the most prominent ways misinformation is spreading right now, according to Rhona Tarrant, executive editor of CBS News Confirmed.

“When a verification producer receives a story, they call local officials, search online, confirm where something was filmed, when it was filmed, who filmed it, and they may talk to the person who filmed it, and they will talk to other people as well. on the ground,” Tarrant explained. “What we’re trying to do is give that context to these online claims, particularly videos, because they can often be the most powerful way to spread misinformation.”

CBS News Confirmed also debunked a video that was falsely claimed to show “illegal voters” being bussed to a polling location in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

Video of people arriving at a satellite polling location in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, was falsely described by social media users as images of foreigners trying to vote illegally.

The video, which was taken at the South Park Satellite Election Office, shows a large group approaching the office entrance before stopping to chat with someone outside. The video has racked up millions of views on social media platform X.

In a statementAllegheny County officials said the video shows a group of voters who came to request mail-in ballots on Saturday and needed help from a translator. After speaking with the translator, able-bodied voters joined the back of the line, while elderly and disabled voters were allowed to sit and wait their turn.

county officials saying“People who requested a mail-in ballot last weekend would only have received a ballot if they were already registered. Only U.S. citizens can register to vote.”

officials in Pennsylvania and further have warned voters about electoral misinformation spreading online.

Pennsylvania is considered one of the most important states on the battlefield in the next presidential elections. The state will be in the spotlight on Nov. 5 and possibly for the next few days, depending on how long it takes election workers to count ballots. Officials from across the Philadelphia area have shared with CBS News Philadelphia how are they securing the elections and how the ballots will be counted.
