Henrico County corrects Elon Musk after reposting false claim about voter turnout in 2020 election

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Henrico County corrected Elon Musk on its X account on Monday after he shared a false claim about the county’s voter turnout during the 2020 presidential election.

On Sunday, Oct. 6, Elon Musk shared a post on X — formerly known as Twitter — claiming that there was widespread voter fraud in Henrico during the 2020 presidential election, which pitted then-president Donald Trump against current president Joe Biden.

The post alleges that eight local precincts in Henrico — Randolph, Spottswood, Monument Hills, Hunton, Rollingwood, Longdale, Elko and Derbyshire — reported a higher than 100% voter turnout that year.

The original poster said that these allegations were made by an “EXPERT” who estimates that “there were 15,572 fraudulent votes in Henrico alone” in 2020.
