Summary
Saxony-Anhalt’s election could mark Germany’s first far-right state government since WWII, but it’s been overshadowed by a flood of online disinformation — from fake videos staging ballot destruction to spoofed clips blaming CDU of fraud. These tactics, tied to Russian-linked campaigns like Storm-1516 and Matryoshka, aim to sow chaos and distrust. Even minor errors — like a misreported early ballot count in Halle — were swiftly debunked, highlighting how misinformation thrives on confusion, not facts.
