US officials are investigating election fraud in the state of New Hampshire. Thousands of voters were notified by phone of President Joe Biden's fake ballot. He asked not to vote in the primaries.
Democrats, like Republicans, will hold primaries in New Hampshire on Tuesday. Incumbent President Biden is not on the ballot because of a dispute over the order of the primaries. Voters can enter Biden's name in the blank box.
According to CNN Between 5,000 and 25,000 voters received a phone call in which they heard a message purporting to be from Biden. The President's voice seems to be recreated with artificial intelligence (AI).
In the message, Biden urges voters not to vote in the primary, or they won't be able to vote in the November election. Voters are asked to “save” their vote.
“The message is completely bogus. It is not from President Biden, and there is no question that voters should save their votes,” the New Hampshire state attorney's office said. The White House has confirmed that the news is fake.
Biden's campaign team says it's aware of the fake news, but not overly concerned. Polls suggest Democratic opponents Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson are unlikely to unseat the incumbent.

The Trump team denies being behind the report
It is not known who is behind this fake news. Donald Trump's campaign team has denied any involvement.
Trump is the Republican front-runner to challenge Biden in November. The former president won Iowa's first Republican primary by a landslide.
Trump's finalist is Nikki Haley. He should do well in the upcoming Republican primaries in New Hampshire and South Carolina.
