There is no evidence for this claim. Wisconsin does not allow partisan clothing in polling stations and at least one expert says the video is Russian disinformation.

Fact Check:

Social media users are claiming a video shows two Harris supporters attacking a Trump supporter at a Wisconsin polling station.  (RELATED: Facebook Video Does Not Show ‘Ballot Mule’ In Lincoln, Nebraska)

There is no evidence for this claim. No credible news outlets have reported any such attack. Furthermore, Wisconsin does not allow partisan clothing or “campaign clothing” at polling locations, which casts more doubt on the claim, according to the Post Crescent.

Darren Linvill, a professor at Clemson University Media Forensics Hub, said in a Nov. 5 X post that the video was Russian disinformation.

This video is Russian, Storm-1516 disinformation. No one was attacked at a polling station in Wisconsin. The video is created in a manner consistent with past Storm narratives and @AlertChannel is an account Terada’s R-FBI has used consistently for distribution. pic.twitter.com/FrtuJRCtRe
