Twitter adds warning label to Trump tweet about Pennsylvania voting
Twitter added a warning label to one of President Trump’s tweets on Monday night after deeming that the message might contain “misleading” information about the election.
The president had bashed the recent state Supreme Court decision allowing Pennsylvania to count mail-in ballots for three days after Election Day — claiming the ruling would “induce violence in the streets.”
The social media giant quickly added a label to the tweet, writing that some or all of its content “is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process.”
The move came on the eve of the election between Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
More 2.4 million Pennsylvanians have already voted by mail in the contest, according to officials in the crucial battleground state who have said it could take several days to tally the results.
In Philadelphia alone, officials have received more than 400,000 absentee and mail-in ballots — which won’t start being counted until polls open at 7 a.m., Mayor Jim Kenney said Monday, urging patience.
The delay in counting votes in the Democrat-heavy City of Brotherly Love could mean that Trump may open up a huge lead in Pennsylvania over Biden, only to see it disappear as Philadelphia tallies its vote.
Trump on Sunday said his campaign will be sending teams of lawyers into swing states to challenge mail-in ballot extensions.
