Politicians and social media influencers have spread falsehoods about voting and ballot counting.

In 2020 , then-President Donald Trump prematurely declared hours after polls had closed, "We already have won" It's likely that as the votes are being counted this year , we will see falsehoods like those in 2020 .

A viral video appears to show election workers ripping up mail ballots marked for Trump .

There is no state or federal law that says vote counting must stop a few hours after the polls close.

It is common for one candidate to take the lead in early results but not be the winner as more ballots are counted.
