Millions of Americans are tuning into an alternative US election campaign. This one isn’t full of sobering news about the pandemic, the Supreme Court and the American economy – instead it’s filled with chatter about elite cabals, rumours and allegations of the most vile crimes.

But could this unhinged idea actually have an impact on the upcoming election? We’ve been investigating. Presenter: Mike Wendling
