President Donald Trump quickly took to social media shortly after midnight Wednesday to declare without evidence that "We are up BIG but they are trying to STEAL the election." The president also tweeted that votes could not be cast after the polls closed. Within minutes, Twitter and Facebook stepped in with warnings that the president's posts violated previously established policies.
Election officials across the country have made it clear for months that the final vote tallies would change as many states accounted for both mail-in and absentee ballots as well as those cast on Election Day. Ballots are still being counted in some of the key battleground states.
Around 1 a.m. on Wednesday, the @TwitterSafety account posted a notice that it had labeled the president's tweets as misleading under its civic integrity policy.
"Some or all of the content shared in this tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process," the notice said./ End
