The most widespread conspiracies
Patriotic commands that count votes for Trump, watermarks placed by the Trump administration before the ballot to reveal electoral fraud, or a program that erases Trump’s votes are just a few examples of conspiracies spread by the president. , family, relatives. and supporters. They are spread on Twitter and Facebook in supporter networks and promoted through their favorite online sources of information, the Breitbart and Infowars sites.
In an attempt to end the controversy, several US authorities involved in the management of the electoral process said in a joint statement Thursday that “no evidence was found” of lost or modified ballots and hacked voting systems.
A few hours earlier, Trump wrote on Twitter that a voting system called Dominion had “erased” 2.7 million votes for him across the country, allocating hundreds of thousands of votes to his Democratic rival Joe Biden in Pennsylvania. other states.

In reality, there is no evidence that such a system was implemented before the election. .
Information has been disseminated on the Internet that about 800 patriotic commandos, of the National Guard, were installed in all the polling stations of 12 US states, preventing the destruction of Trump’s ballots, ballots that would have been destroyed until then.

Other versions of the same message speak of 500 elite units of the CIA, which supposedly went to the counting centers of the countries where the count did not end on October 10.
Similar false news about electoral fraud was spread even by the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., who posted on Twitter images with ballots set on fire, which later turned out to be false.
And Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, shared on Twitter a video that went viral, in which a man breaks what appears to be a vote for Trump. Later, the person who posted the video on TikTok said it was a joke.
