Do ballot boxes actually look like that?
Is it a coincidence that the labels are all identically sized, aligned with the picture and perfectly clean/unscuffed .. quite unlike the boxes they're "on"?
Curious where the pic came from, in any case.
- saywatnow 10y agoalso, the photo is taken inside the back of a truck. Hence the webbing and blankets. Just how credulous are people?
- Jarwain 10y agoThe article states that he got the photo from the Birmingham Mail. Funnily enough, after this NYT article, the Birmingham Mail released an article about how their own image was used for this fake news article. Even stranger, it looks like someone took this original photo, flipped it, got rid of all of the labels, then created new labels for a few boxes. Probably to make it more difficult for reverse image search to find the original. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/birmingham-mail-photo-used-fake-12476900 http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/birmingha...
