VERIFY talked to the American citizen whose ballot is being used to falsely spread claims that a Canadian person fraudulently voted in the election.

Voter ID requirements have been a hot topic leading up to the 2024 election, stirring debate over election security.

In an Oct. 28 X post, @wizardofsoho claimed they are a Canadian citizen who was able to vote in the 2024 presidential election without identification. The post includes a photo of a ballot marked for Donald Trump. The post has been viewed over 13 million times. 

“I am a Canadian but USA doesn’t require voter Id so figured I would drive across the border and vote,” the post says.  Another viral Oct. 28 post with what appears to be the same ballot photo reads “Came on holiday to the US and they didn’t require voter ID so just voted on a bunch of ballots.” VERIFY found other X posts with the same or nearly identical text
