LANCASTER COUNTY ELECTION COMMISSION SAYS SOCIAL MEDIA POST IMPLYING ELECTION FRAUD IS 'FALSE AND MISLEADING'

LANCASTER COUNTY, Nebr. - Officials said a member of a "malicious conspiracy theorist group" recorded a video showing a man on a skateboard returning his ballot and shared it on social media Sunday. The social media post "erroneously implied" that the man did something wrong, the Lancaster County Election Commissioner Todd Wiltgen said.

Officials said they reviewed surveillance footage of the ballot drop box and identified the voter when his ballot was retrieved. "It is shameful and unAmerican to intimidate and threaten anyone for exercising their right to vote," Wiltgen said in a statement.

Officials said they were concerned for the man's safety when commenters on the social media post were threatening to harm him. The election commission contacted the Lincoln Police Department, who reached out to the voter, officials said.
