Alarm is growing over the blizzard of false voting misinformation being pedalled by Donald Trump and his top allies, such as Elon Musk, according to The Guardian.

Musk, the world’s richest man, has asserted without evidence that Trump’s campaign is heading for a “crushing victory” over Harris, and been chastised by key election officials in Arizona and Georgia.

Besides Musk, other key Trump allies such as Turning Point USA chief Charlie Kirk have reached their large rightist audiences via podcasts and public events and pushed bogus claims about Democratic election fraud.
