Fox News' Spanish-language channel spreads voter fraud fearmongering

Anchor warns viewers of a 'coordinated attack' against the integrity of elections

Fox News' Spanish-language channel, Fox Noticias, is already fearmongering about voter fraud to Spanish speakers, just as the network's English-language counterparts have been doing for months.

In a recent segment, anchor Maximo Torres warned viewers of a "coordinated attack" against the integrity of elections, claiming that there is a "systematic effort" to "steal" the vote from President Donald Trump.

Torres cited a number of alleged examples of voter fraud, including a case in Pennsylvania where a woman was charged with voting twice in the 2016 election. He also cited a report from the conservative Heritage Foundation that claimed there were more than 1,000 cases of voter fraud in the 2016 election.

However, experts have said that voter fraud is extremely rare in the United States. A 2014 study by the Brennan Center for Justice found that there were only 31 credible instances of voter fraud out of more than 1 billion votes cast in the 2016 election.

Despite the lack of evidence, Fox News has continued to promote the myth of widespread voter fraud. The network's coverage has been criticized by Democrats and voting rights advocates, who say it is designed to suppress voter turnout and undermine confidence in the electoral process.

Fox's fearmongering about voter fraud is part of a larger effort by the Republican Party to restrict voting rights.

In recent years, Republicans have passed a number of laws that make it more difficult for people to register to vote and cast a ballot. These laws have been particularly harmful to minority voters, who are more likely to vote for Democratic candidates.

The Republican Party's efforts to restrict voting rights are a threat to democracy. It is important to speak out against these attacks on our voting rights and to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate in the electoral process.
