Trump allies use Twitter to sow confusion about voting on the eve of the Iowa caucuses

The claims of electoral fraud were false, proved untrue by public data and the state’s top election official. That

Twitter over the weekend to spread specious allegations of malfeasance
on the eve of Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses. The
episode showcased the perils of conducting elections in the age of
social media, where volume is more important than veracity.
