Impact of "participatory disinformation" on society
A former Houston police captain was charged with assault Tuesday after running a man off the road and holding him at gunpoint in an effort to prove what authorities have called a bogus voter fraud scheme. Mark Aguirre claimed an air conditioner repairman was the mastermind of the scheme and said he believed the man's truck was filled with fraudulent ballots when he ran his SUV into it on Oct. 19, according to authorities.
"The defendant stated (the driver) has approximately seven hundred and fifty thousand fraudulent mail ballots and is using Hispanic children to sign the ballots because the children's fingerprints would not appear in any databases," according to an arrest affidavit.
