At 12:49 a.m. in Washington, DC, 6:49 a.m. German time, the US president spoke up again after a six-hour Twitter break. First Donald Trump announced a statement for “tonight”, a supposedly great victory. Three minutes later
: “We have the upper hand, but they are trying to STEAL the election. We will never let that happen. Votes cannot be cast after polling stations are closed!”We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 4, 2020
It took Twitter six minutes to step in. “Some or all of the content shared in this tweet is controversial and potentially misleading as to how to participate in an election or other civic process,” it now reads above Trump’s tweet.
Trump also posted his statement on Facebook. The social media company took a little longer than Twitter, but then provided the post with a note: “Final results can be different from the first results, as the counting can take days or weeks,” is Trump’s claim.
Hashtag campaign about allegedly postponed election
With his tweet, Trump only picked up on what had been seen on Twitter all day: the right-wing story of the election allegedly “stolen” in favor of the Democrats. #StopTheSteal – stop the theft – was one of many similar hashtags that came up on November 3rd and spread quickly, https://twitter.com/BrandyZadrozny/status/1323671758428274690/photo/1. The right-hand side of the news “Breitbart” also wrote: “The theft is underway.”
Julian Jaursch, who works at the New Responsibility Foundation on the topic of the digital public, told SPIEGEL: “Of course, votes will continue to be counted after the polling stations have closed. But the statement that the election is ‘stolen’ because votes were subsequently received is incorrect. ” According to Jaursch, such disinformation could serve to raise doubts about the election process. “Some Trump supporters have been trying to do this for months in the media and on social networks.”
Jaursch thinks it is possible that #StopTheSteal could be important again later: “This narrative is apparently still being used to establish the view among the supporters that something is wrong with the election. This could be used to provide support for to have possible legal proceedings to choose from. “
