Detroit’s ABC News affiliate reports:
A video making the rounds on social media and other platforms that claims to show voter fraud and a wagon being loaded outside of the TCF Center in Detroit is actually video of a WXYZ photographer loading his camera and other gear into a wagon for work.
The video appeared on the website Texas Scorecard, which describes itself as “Relentlessly pro-citizen, unabashedly pro-liberty.” The website said the video was taken by Kellye SoRelle, a Texas lawyer. It was also played on a YouTube show for Steven Crowder, a Conservative media figure.
The video is all over TikTok today.
A conservative “news” site reports catching a man wheeling in “suspicious” equipment to the Detroit convention center, implying it was used to steal ballots.
The “ballot thief” was my photographer. He was bringing down equipment for our 12-hour shift. https://t.co/4UsRdOncZ3

YouTuber Steven Crowder and a Texas news site spread a video they suggested shows a poll worker wheeling suspicious ballots into a Detroit polling center.
In fact, it shows a local TV cameraman bringing in equipment.https://t.co/ijXeQNaVnc #ElectionResults2020

This is a wagon.
It is not “suspicious” equipment that was used to steal ballots.
