Right-wing influencers are going viral claiming voter fraud. The problem? They're wrong
In mid-January, a video recorded by popular far-right influencer Benny Johnson circulated widely online, claiming to uncover voter fraud in California.
In the supposed exposé, a sunglasses-clad Johnson spoke into his phone while standing in front of a vacant lot in Venice Beach, California.
“We’re in front of a very important place here in California,” Johnson explained. “You’ll see it’s just home to a Porta John and a giant empty parking lot. But inside of this empty parking lot is something really important in the state of California. As you can see here, we have registered voters. Twenty-six registered voters for this exact location… 26 people registered to a Porta John in an empty parking lot.”
By mid-February the video had garnered more than 1.6 million views, with Trump administration officials and prominent conservatives reposting it on X.
