The 20-second video, which has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on X and other social networks, shows two men in a car claiming to be Haitian.
One says they obtained US citizenship within six months of arriving and have voted for Kamala Harris in Gwinnett and Fulton counties in Georgia. They encourage other Haitians to come to the United States.
The BBC has found clear indications, including false addresses and stock photos, which indicate the video is a fake.
In a statement, three US security agencies said that the video "falsely depicted individuals claiming to be from Haiti" and was made by "Russian influence actors".
