Donald Trump posted on his social media platforms on Tuesday arguing that mail-in voting will lead to a “rigged election.” Facebook, which has claimed it would not fact-check political leaders, decided to slap Trump’s post with a disclaimer in an attempt to fight misinformation.
Trump wrote on his page that mail-in voting, unless changed by the courts, “will lead to the most CORRUPT ELECTION in our Nation’s History!” and added the hashtag #RIGGEDELECTION.
Facebook added an information tag which said, “Get official voting info on how to vote in the 2020 US Election” with a link to the government-sponsored USA.gov page on how to cast ballots.
Trump also received backlash for posting the same message on his Twitter. You can see that HERE.
