A video clip has gone viral on social media, raising strong reactions about potential security flaws in the US electoral system. The clip was recorded at a polling station in California and shows a voter describing how easy it is to access a ballot without identifying himself.
On the X platform, the verified user profile @irrationalhenry describes how, during a visit to a polling station in Glendale, California (D), he refused to confirm his details. Despite this, he was given a ballot, with the election official claiming to trust the person without requiring an ID check.
The clip is described as a horrifying example of how easy it would be to vote fraudulently in states that do not check identification documents. California is highlighted in the post as one of the most “corrupt” states in terms of election security.

The post concludes with a call not to vote for the Democrats in the upcoming elections and ends with the slogan “MAGA” (Make America Great Again), a motto associated with former President Donald Trump and his supporters.
