The deep roots of Trump's "voter fraud" strategy

President Trump even declared "fraud" while still counting votes-the development of a strategy would take at least a few months. In the early hours of a cold November morning in Connecticut, after a long night shift, 49-year-old Candy Yiugg was in her bed. She immediately unlocked her phone-like most nights, and started scrolling through social media feeds. But this is different-it was election night. The result is still up in the air. Candy rolled, catching up with the news that night, while waiting for her favorite candidate to speak out. After 1 am, he did:

Tweets and democracy 

Research by the BBC’s anti-disinformation department shows that false information about voter fraud has been repeatedly stuffed into influential accounts on social media for several months. It comes from the top. President Trump began posting allegations of Twitter fraud as early as April.

This is not a new topic. Mr. Trump made the claim that election fraud came back in 2016-after he won the election. 

But this time, there is evidence that more and more people have seen unfounded statements on social media throughout the past few weeks. Candy is just one of them. Thousands of people have joined the large Facebook group under the "Stop Stealing" banner.

Where does #StoptheSteal come from? 

On election night, after the first of many misleading videos about voter fraud became popular, the hashtag #StoptheSteal sprung up on Twitter. The video showed that a pollster was denied entry to the Philadelphia polling station. It has nearly 2 million views on Twitter and is shared by multiple pro-Trump accounts. Soon after the video was released, we conducted an investigation. The officials asked the distinctive man to wait outside-a woman told him that his voting certificate was invalid at that particular polling station.

The video is real, and it turns out that the woman is wrong. The rules are confusing. In the past, only polling investigators were allowed to access specific sites in Philadelphia, but now they can visit multiple sites throughout the city. The situation was later clarified, and the man was later allowed to enter the station and apologized. Of course, none of this is reflected in the video-hashtags have become popular.

10 lessons from Asia on how to live with a coronavirus outbreak


Since the coronavirus flare-up started in China last December, it has spread over the world. It presently takes steps to turn into a worldwide pandemic, and nations are scrambling to contain the infection.

Here are 10 exercises - great and awful - from Asia on the best way to manage a coronavirus flare-up.

1. Be straightforward with people in general. Government straightforwardness and freely open data can help teach residents on the dangers and essential prudent steps, and keep away from frenzy or falsehood.

2. Lead social separating. The infection spreads when individuals are in close physical contact - so one of the most significant precaution measures is social separating. Nations across Asia have suspended schools, dropped open social events, and shut open spaces like pools or libraries.

3. Be on top of things. In January, as it turned out to be certain that the infection was spreading quickly across Asia, nations prepared by setting up isolate focuses, requesting increasingly clinical supplies ahead of time, and sorting out cross-departmental government crisis reaction councils.

4. Get tried early. Nations can empower early testing, and make testing accessible across neighborhood areas, to rapidly distinguish the appearance of the infection. In South Korea, a cell phone application requests that residents do a day by day check of their manifestations, and the nation has spearheaded pass through testing for the infection.

5. Spread great cleanliness rehearses. Straightforward measures can go far - like washing your hands appropriately and much of the time, covering your nose or mouth when you hack or sniffle, and being aware of the surfaces you contact.

6. Offer representatives adaptable working courses of action. A huge number of individuals in Asia have been telecommuting, or working progressively adaptable hours, for a little while - made conceivable by present day innovation. This diminishes the danger of contamination, and assists representatives with feeling more secure.

7. Try not to freeze purchase. Frenzy purchasing, as observed in Hong Kong and somewhere else, feeds pointless turmoil and dread. It removes basic supplies for frontliners and social insurance laborers - and regularly, the inventory chains are okay.

8. Try not to fear your pets. There is no proof pets can come down with the infection and thusly taint you. The infection can live on surfaces and items - so it could be available on the outside of a canine or feline, similar to how it may be available on a lift catch or entryway handle.

9. Try not to trash patients. As the infection spreads does as well, dread and segregation. Specialists have cautioned against vilifying patients; for example, if isolates aren't done appropriately, patients might be treated with less poise and regard.

10. At last - don't freeze. In view of current accessible information, the infection is thought to have a casualty pace of about 2% - that is higher than flu, which is about 0.1%, however much lower than extreme intense respiratory disorder (SARS) at 9.6%, and Middle East respiratory disorder (MERS) at 35%. For some individuals, side effects are much the same as those of a typical cold, and may leave all alone.
