A Pennsylvania Republican councilman was under fire last week for posting a hoax picture on Facebook that aims at tricking people into believing they can "vote at home comfortably online." 

Now it has emerged that the fake image originally circulated on an alt-right, pro-Trump Reddit threat and originated on 4chan. 

The image features an American flag with the suggestion on top to "Vote Hillary November 8th." At the bottom, it reads: "Simply post 'Hillary' with the hashtag #PresidentialElection on your Facebook or Twitter account between 7:00am and 9:00pm on November 8th!"
