Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked postal voting, claiming without evidence it will lead to fraud
Social media company Twitter Inc on Monday reported a tweet from US President Donald Trump about the mail ballots, adding a disclaimer describing the contents of the post as “disputed” and potentially misleading.
“Big problems and discrepancies with mail-in ballots all over the US. Must have final total by Nov. 3,” Trump tweeted Monday night, the tweet giving no evidence for his assertion.
“Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and could be misleading as to how to participate in an election or other civic process,” said Twitter’s disclaimer.
The disclaimer included a link to a page highlighting how legal and safe postal voting was.
Many states have expanded early voting and the use of postal ballots ahead of the Nov. 3 election, as some Americans try to avoid crowded polling stations during the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump has repeatedly attacked postal voting, claiming without evidence that it will lead to widespread fraud. Democrats have argued that it is a safe and reliable alternative to in-person voting.
Twitter has also previously reported on posts from Trump, including a tweet earlier this month in which Trump claimed he was immune to the coronavirus, with the social media company claiming the tweet made “misleading health claims. “.
