atlanta - Residents in the southern state urged to register to vote with image of European country instead of American state.
A digital advertisement encouraging Republican supporters to register to vote displayed an idyllic landscape with rolling mountains disappearing into the clouds.
An analysis by the Telegraph quickly revealed the image to be a stock photo of the view of Upper Svaneti in the Caucasus mountains in northwestern Georgia in Europe.
The same photo can be found on the website of the U.S. Department of State, which provides travel advice to American citizens visiting the Eurasian country.
The state of Georgia is one of the seven swing states that could influence the upcoming U.S. presidential elections. Latest polls suggest Trump has a slight lead over Kamala Harris there.
