A Philly Republican election official called out Elon Musk for ballot-harvesting disinformation on X
A Republican elections official in Philadelphia called out Elon Musk on Wednesday for spreading “disinformation” by retweeting a false claim that a Center City social services organization was involved in widespread ballot harvesting.
Late Tuesday evening, Musk — the SpaceX founder who has been using his wealth and influence to help former President Donald Trump win Pennsylvania in the fast-approaching election — retweeted a post stating that Broad Street Love has “5,200 voters” at its address and implied that the nongovernmental organization was involved in harvesting thousands of votes in 2020.
“Homeless Services NGOs harvested hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots from transients in 2020. This single-site NGO in Philly has thousands alone,” wrote the user @fentasyl, above a screen grab from Broad Street Love’s website describing how it provides a mailing address for unhoused people, which helps them obtain identification, search for jobs, receive benefits, establish permanent residency, and vote.
“No one knows who filled out those ballots,” the post stated, while providing no evidence that any ballot was filled out by anyone other than the registered voter.
