Twitter continues to label Trump's misinformation about vote count
The 2020 U.S. presidential election is still too close to call.
With the results still out in key states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, President Trump is calling into question the validity of completely legitimate votes as they’re being counted.
For its part, Twitter is continuing to apply its election day policies on misinformationto the president's tweets.
Tweet may have been deleted
“Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process,” says the warning label attached to a Trump tweet earlier this morning.
Users can still read the content of Trump’s tweet directly under the warning label and view quote tweets. However, they cannot reply to the tweet or retweet it. Twitter says it has taken these actions to curb the spread of misinformation.
"We placed a warning on this tweet for making a potentially misleading claim about an election,” said a Twitter spokesperson. “"As votes are still being counted across the country, our teams continue to take enforcement action on tweets that prematurely declare victory or contain misleading information about the election broadly.”
Trump appears to be trying to attack the legitimacy of ballots that are still being counted in crucial swing states. Mail-in and absentee ballots, which could favor democrats, are still being counted in these states. In addition, it seems like Trump could also be referring to a data errorin Michigan which added a much larger number of votes to Joe Biden’s count than it was supposed to, which was quickly fixed.. At time of publishing, however, Biden was still ahead after the data was adjusted for accuracy.
Twitter also added a warning labelto a Trump tweet posted shortly after midnight in which the president claimed the election was being stolen. He falsely claimed that votes were being cast after the polls closed.
The company also shared that it added a warning label to a tweetposted by the chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin declaring Biden won the state.
