Billionaire György Soros has been through a lot of conspiracy theories over the years, mostly because of his financial support for democracy and freedom.
Before the November 8 midterm elections, the questionable claim that a donor interfered with the voting machines used in the US election resurfaced.
An Instagram post on November 6 read: “They’re trying to rig the election again! Don’t trust the Soros-funded voting machines!!!”
In fact, someone even asked Congress to hold a special session to discuss voting machines. Almost 57,000 people have signed the petition.
