Facebook has added a new recent label to Donald Trump’s post about mail-in ballots. In the post, which is also present on Twitter, Trump emphasized on previous comments that encouraged people to vote twice. The rambling post says voters should sign and mail in your Ballot as early as possible, and “On Election Day, or Early Voting, go to your Polling Place to see whether or not your Mail-In Vote has been Tabulated (Counted).”
The social networking giant’s label goes against Trump’s repeated claims that voting by mail is unreliable and susceptible to fraud. “Voting by mail has a long history of trustworthiness in the US and the same is predicted this year,” the label says, citing the Bipartisan Policy Center. It also has a connection to Facebook’s voting information center.
In the past, Facebook had labeled Trump’s post with a message encouraging users to visit the has company’s voting information center. Yet, that label, which is similar to the ones the company has included other voting-related posts, had been criticized for not taking a stronger stance on the president’s claims.
The company’s new label comes after Mark Zuckerberg announced new steps the social network would take to prevent voter fraud and misinformation. Facebook will also ban new political ads in the days leading up to the election, and add labels to posts that try “to delegitimize the outcome of the election” or declare victory before the results are final.
