Think Twice Before Sharing Election Night Posts

Truman DeweyThe folks at All Things D are issuing a warning to those who may be quick on the social media trigger.

The site warns of spurious--or outright fake--posts that are expected to be put out in an effor to dissuade voters. As results come in, but West Coast polls remain open, morally questionable individuals are expected to take to Facebook and Twitter and announce that a side has won. The goal is to convince those who have not yet voted that they don't need to vote because the election is already decided.

These dubious posts may be picked up and shared or re-tweeted, reaching many more voters. Caution is encouraged before believing or sharing ANY political activity on social media on election day.
