It's another U.S. presidential election, which means 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump is back on his bullsh*t — spreading misinformation wherever he goes.
Trump and his allies signaled in advance of Election Day that they would dispute results not in his favor, and literally before the polls even closed, he was already at it.
On Election Day, there's always a lot of information circulating online from the media, internet commentators, and sometimes total randoms. Always check your sources. Don't believe everything you read, especially if you can’t verify where it’s coming from.

Cheating at the polls in Philadelphia?
On Nov. 5, Trump posted on Truth Social, “A lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. Law Enforcement coming!!!” Philadelphia officials quickly debunked this rumor.
“There is absolutely no truth to this allegation,” tweeted City Commissioner of Philadelphia Seth Bluestein. “It is yet another example of disinformation. Voting in Philadelphia has been safe and secure.”
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner added, “The only talk about massive cheating has come from one of the candidates, Donald J. Trump. There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation. We have invited complaints and allegations of improprieties all day. If Donald J. Trump has any facts to support his wild allegations, we want them now. Right now. We are not holding our breath.”
