In the days leading up to the highly anticipated New York City mayoral election, users spread a video they claimed showed a person admitting to voter fraud. However, there are security mechanisms in place to prevent people from voting multiple times and the clip was originally posted as a joke playing on the popular "6-7" meme, with the speaker saying they planned to cast six or seven ballots for Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani.
"This guy just went on TikTok and admitted to committing multiple felonies," exclaims the speaker in a November 2, 2025 Instagram reel.
The user duets the video with a clip of another person who says: "I'm here in New York, about to illegally vote for Zohran Mamdani six times."
The footage of the person saying they had cast multiple ballots for Mamdani spread on Facebook, X, TikTok and Truth Social with claims it showed evidence of voter fraud.
Mamdani, a young, Muslim leftist, appeared poised to win the New York City mayor's race on November 4 but his campaign has also been targeted by Islamophobic misinformation.
Since clinching the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor in June, he has attracted ire from the American right, including US President Donald Trump who endorsed Mamdani's main rival, Andrew Cuomo, the night before the election.
Many conservative accounts shared the claim about the alleged six votes cast for Mamdani, calling on the Trump administration to investigate, but the footage was originally posted as a joke.
