With under a month left until the November midterms, the contest is already haunted by the fear of voter fraud, a product of false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.
Recent polls suggest that this Trump-fueled conspiracy theory is still in the mind of many Americans despite the absence of credible evidence to refute President Joe Biden's victory, and efforts to combat the false narrative.
Still, it appears that these types of voter fraud claims are sprouting early roots in the midterms, weeks before voters make their way to the ballot box.
The Claim
A number of tweets posted on October 11, 2022, imply a voter fraud conspiracy was behind recent news that 30,000 non-citizens in Colorado were sent marketing material encouraging them to vote.
The tweets were accompanied by articles in The Federalist and Fox News.
One tweet stated: "This is totally illegal !!
"Definitely done under the guise of a mistake!
"Democrats aren't fooling anyone this time around!"
Actor James Woods wrote in response to the Fox News article: "And here we go again!"
