The right-wing think tank has been pushing misinformation about voting into social media feeds. The Georgia secretary of state’s office called one video “a stunt.”
In July, two men went door to door at a sprawling apartment complex in Norcross, Ga., an Atlanta suburb that is a hub for the region’s fast-growing Latino population, asking residents if they were U.S. citizens and whether they were registered to vote.
Speaking in Spanish, often peeking from behind half-closed doors, seven people told the men that they were not citizens but that they were registered to vote.
Although the two men claimed to represent a company helping Latinos navigate the election system, they were actually working with the Heritage Foundation and carrying a hidden camera. Days later, the conservative think tank posted a video on the social media platform X containing some of the footage the men had captured, calling it “staggering” evidence that 14 percent of noncitizens in Georgia — which Heritage said extrapolated to more than 47,000 people — were registered to vote.
“Based on our findings,” the video concluded, “the integrity of the 2024 election is in great jeopardy.”
The video was reposted by Elon Musk, X’s owner, who called it “extremely disturbing.” It quickly went viral.
But under scrutiny, those claims do not hold up. Three of the seven people Heritage filmed later said they had misspoken. State investigators found no evidence that any of the seven people on the tape had ever registered to vote. A spokesman for Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, called the video “a stunt.”

IF the NY slime said it’s raining outside I step outside to confirm.
There should be non*non-citizen voters*.
If you’re not a citizen, you don’t get the privilege.
“Three of the seven people Heritage filmed later said they had misspoken..”
I believe we are missing the part about who told them to say they had misspoken.
Matter of fact, I wouldn’t object if people who go on welfare and such were excluded as well.
I’d say government assistance but after having been FORCED to sign up for Medicare, I would exempt that and the Social Security payments we get from what we put in don’t fit either.
But welfare? Absolutely.
State investigators tend not to find things they don't want to find.
So the seven were not registered to vote. How does that prove there are no illegals on the voting rolls?
Why should that matter? If the claims that our side makes about election integrity crumble so easily, then maybe they are not very convincing. How about having rock solid evidence?
“Non-citizens” cannot also be ‘voters’ in American politics.
Period.
Anyone who argues otherwise deserves to have their cranium evacuated.
Sez the Mexican owned NY Times
“State investigators found no evidence that any of the seven people on the tape had ever registered to vote.”
___________
“State investigators?”
“found no evidence?”
Pretty ambiguous statement. Who are these investigators? Gabriel Sterling? Chris Carr? What did they use to verify they hadn’t registered to vote? Their social security number? Their driver’s license? Their address? What?
How the frick does the NYT know how many illegal invaders are planning to vote? The real story is WHY these people were given documents that enable them to be registered to vote. Here’s a hint, it wasn’t an accident or oversight. It’s the main reason these people were allowed in. To vote RAT, and it throws the entire election into question.
Sure, Slimes.
That’s funny. Of course the interviewees recanted. They know it’s illegal.
Says the propaganda mouthpiece for the DemocRat Party.
“How about having rock solid evidence?”
Yeah, right. The NYT would surely present that when proven .
The title is enough to go by...
NYT legitimizing noncitizen voters
But we didn't miss the part about ...Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, called the video “a stunt.
He has a lot to worry about.
We can take Brad Raffensburger’s word for it.
He doesn’t lie at all.

Who said it crumbled, the enemy?
