Media Matters has identified dozens more Spanish-language YouTube videos spreading misinformation about U.S. elections, building on two pieces of previous reporting that highlighted 12 videos that promoted false narratives about supposedly fraudulent votes in the 2020 elections.
YouTube allowed four videos from the previous reports to remain on the platform, even though their central claims included that fraudulent ballots were coming to the U.S. from China and Mexico, 1.8 million “ghost voters” voted in 2020, 66,248 minors voted, and that a crime boss made 300,000 fake ballots for now-President Joe Biden.
YouTube has explicit election misinformation policies and has committed to combating Spanish-language election misinformation ahead of the midterms. However, platforms like YouTube will often roll out a policy too late and still not enforce their policies uniformly.
Media Matters has identified dozens of additional videos since those original reports that spread a plethora of election fraud narratives on Spanish-language YouTube, which have been repeatedly debunked in the past, including the Georgia suitcase ballot dumping conspiracy theory and the claim that dead people voted in 2020. In total we have found 40 videos containing violative content regarding election integrity, including the 12 videos that were previously reported in the two prior pieces of content and another 28 additional videos reported below.
