The post came from an account called "@TheWakeninq," which promotes the QAnon conspiracy theory and was previously among the first to post a falsified video accusing vice presidential candidate Tim Walz of sexual assault.
Similar posts sharing the video quickly reverberated across the platform, where disinformation has thrived since Elon Musk bought it in 2022.
In the clip, a man opens up what appear to be returned mail-in ballots from Bucks County north of Philadelphia, ripping up votes cast for Trump while preserving those marked for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
The man, whose face is not visible, repeatedly curses about Trump throughout the recording.
But the clip does not show real ballots, according to the county's board of elections, which called it "dangerous disinformation."
