OHIO, USA — The public may not know the winner of the presidential race on election day because of a massive shift to voting by mail during the coronavirus pandemic. That's because mail ballots take longer to count due to security procedures and laws in some states that limit when they can be processed.
Democrats are worried that President Donald Trump's escalating rhetoric against mail voting is designed to take advantage of this delay in the instance of a close race or even his defeat. During the possibly days of uncertain counting, it'd be easy to sow doubt about the outcome, they warn.
On Tuesday, Twitter flagged some of President Donald Trump's tweets with a fact-check warning after the president tweeted about mail voting.
Twitter added a warning phrase to two Trump tweets that claimed mail-in ballots are fraudulent and could be robbed. Now, under the tweets, there is a link directing users to a page with news stories about the president's claims.
Editor's note: The fact check notation does not appear in the tweet embedded above, but you can see it if you open the tweet directly.
