🚨 BREAKING: “Kentucky Primary Results HACKED — Shocking Video Shows Voter Machines FLIPPING Votes” 🚨

CLAIM: A grainy, viral TikTok video claims that in a rural Kentucky precinct, an electronic voting machine was captured on a cell phone “automatically flipping” a voter’s selection from a Republican candidate to a little-known independent. The user, @patriot_watch_ky, alleges this is “4D chess” by “elites” to rig the primary for a “dark horse” candidate, and the video has been shared over 200,000 times in two hours.

Real or Fake? ✅ FAKE. Law enforcement and the Kentucky State Board of Elections have confirmed the video is a deepfake. The “voter” in the clip is a known political activist who later posted a live-stream showing he was never at that precinct. The “flipping” effect is a simple overlay created with a free editing app. Experts note that Kentucky’s paper-trail system would automatically catch such a flip, and no such anomaly was reported in any certified results.

BOTTOM LINE: Do not share the video. The “evidence” is a deliberate hoax aimed at sowing distrust ahead of the general election.
