2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'd like to think no Hillary supporters are this gullible or non-tech savvy, but did
any of you see the thing floating around FaceBook about voting for Hillary online on FB? I don't want to post a graphic here, but it says "Vote Hillary Nov 8th. You can vote at home comfortably online..." Tells people to post "Hillary" with #presidentialelection Nov 8th between 7am and 9pm.
Posted by somebody called 5Bravo. Needless to say several people, including myself, have reported it. It's also been reported to the FBI.
Since you have to select from FB's check off and there is no place to comment or a place to check for election interference, we're reporting it as spam.

Older voters that may have cognitive decline are particularly susceptible to this kind of thing

(112 posts)It is a scam to get people to not vote. The gullible will think they voted when, of course, they did not.
