TikTok trend forces Trump campaign’s ‘voter fraud hotline’ to close after it is inundated with prank calls

Donald Trump’s ‘voter fraud hotline’ has now closed after a TikTok trend led to it being inundated with a flurry of prank calls.

The hotline was set up to record alleged incidents of voter fraud, with the team even setting up a conference room dedicated to it at the Trump campaign’s headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, CNN reported.

However, TikTok users soon began uploading videos of themselves calling in with fake claims and recording the reaction of the operator, a trend which then went on to spread to Twitter.
