Original article: Cuentas trolls de Kast comienzan a difundir noticias falsas sobre fraude electoral Right-Wing Accounts Campaign Spreads False Claims of Marked Votes and Electoral Fraud A disinformation campaign, primarily orchestrated by digital accounts linked to far-right sectors, has flooded social media with allegations of electoral fraud involving marked votes. This strategy echoes patterns observed in past electoral cycles and has been widely disseminated by supporters of candidate José Antonio Kast, casting unfounded doubts on the integrity of the electoral process. Among the accounts involved in this misinformation campaign are @KyngoFactos, @ErizoCL, Doña Sol @Marisol02093983, and Weichafe Nacional Libertario.
