WHAT WAS CLAIMED
Image shows a Canadian voted in the US presidential election.
OUR VERDICT
False. The image has been miscaptioned and was originally posted by a US voter.
AAP FACTCHECK - An image supposedly showing a Canadian having crossed the border and voted in the US election is not what it claims to be.
The image was originally posted on social media by a US account, but has been repurposed by other users, spreading misinformation about the presidential election.
Facebook users posted the claim amid early voting being open in many states, ahead of the November 5 election.
"I am Canadian but USA doesn't require voter Id so figured I would drive across the border and vote", the posts claim, along with a photo of a presidential ballot with Donald Trump selected.
However, AAP FactCheck traced the image back to an American woman's October 13 X post using a reverse image search.
This post is captioned: "I'm voting for the candidate who chooses Americans over illegals."
The user's profile says she is a content creator, with her location listed as North Carolina, and she makes no mention of being Canadian.
