A 64-page document asserting an elaborate conspiracy theory involving Joe Biden's son and business in China, that was later disseminated by close associates of President Trump, appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm." (1/8) #NBCNewsThreads nbcnews.to/3e9Gug9

The document, which went viral on the right-wing internet a month before the purported leak of files from Hunter Biden's laptop, was said to be authored by Swiss security analyst Martin Aspen — who doesn't exist, according to an analysis by disinformation researchers. (2/8)

@NBCNews

Disinformation researchers say Aspen is a fabricated identity and that his profile picture was created with an artificial intelligence face generator. The firm he lists as his previous employer tells @NBCNews that nobody by that name had ever worked for their company. (3/8)

A diverse group of thousands of younger Americans, ranging from 16-year-old high schoolers to college students, are stepping in as poll workers across the country during early voting and on Election Day. nbcnews.to/3e61vIB (1/5) #NBCNewsThreads

In 2018, roughly 58% of all poll workers in the country were 61 or older, according to a survey from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. Poll workers as a group are also disproportionately white compared to the voting population at large. (2/5)

Those numbers are likely to change this year, especially after calls for young people to step up because of the pandemic, since older people are at higher risk of suffering from complications brought on by Covid-19. (3/5)
