US authorities are investigating a possible attempted election fraud in the state of New Hampshire. Thousands of voters received a message via telephone with President Joe Biden’s fake vote. He called on them not to vote in the primary election.
The Democrats, like the Republicans, will hold a primary election in New Hampshire on Tuesday. Incumbent President Biden is not on the election ballot due to a dispute over the order of the primaries. It is possible for voters to enter Biden’s name in an empty box.
According to CNN 5,000 to 25,000 voters received a phone call in which they heard a message supposedly from Biden. The president’s voice appears to be recreated with artificial intelligence (AI).
In the message, ‘Biden’ calls on voters not to vote in the primary election, because otherwise they would no longer be able to vote in the November elections. Voters are asked to “save” their vote.
“The message is completely fake. It is not from President Biden, and there is no question of voters having to save their votes,” the New Hampshire State Attorney’s Office said. The White House also confirms that the message is fake.
Biden’s campaign team says it is aware of the fake message, but not too concerned. Democratic opponents Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson have no chance of unseating the incumbent president, according to the polls.

Team Trump denies being behind the message
It is not known who is behind the fake message. Donald Trump’s campaign team has denied having anything to do with the action.
Trump is the leading candidate to take on Biden on behalf of the Republicans in November. The former president won the first Republican primary in Iowa by a wide margin.
Nikki Haley is Trump’s final challenger. She will have to achieve a good result during the upcoming Republican primaries in New Hampshire and South Carolina.
