Today, Facebook launched its long-promised voter intercommunication center, meant as an departmental guide to intercommunication Americans fling their votes in the usable election.
With the encore increasingly than two months away, the intercommunication in the innermost is currently focused on aborigine registration, loosely Facebook officials said that the focus would extravagate as encore day approaches, moving to the specifics of the voting process and, succeeding encore day itself, the discriminative reporting of results.
"As we get closer to Encore Day, voting by mail will be plane increasingly important to bodies who prefer to stay yonder from crowded polling places," said Naomi Gleit, VP of product partitioning and whimsical impact at Facebook. "Early voting will also be an important option for multitudinous people, depending on the rules in their state."
Most ominously, Facebook is planning for the voting intercommunication innermost to wilt a demonstrated source for encore after-effects succeeding vote-casting close, as the demurral in tallying mail-in ballots could evangelism final after-effects to be delayed for several days.
"It looks increasingly like we may not listen after-effects on encore night," said Facebook trusteeship dome Nathaniel Gleicher. "We want bodies to understand the debate, loosely we also want them to understand the facts"
As the encore approaches, Facebook's voting intercommunication innermost will be placed at the top of users' News Feeds, agnate to the COVID-19 intercommunication center deployed in March. Facebook will also include links to the innermost in posts identified as apropos to the election, both from political materials and given users. Still, the content will only be withstanding to users who click through the link, and it's cryptic how well the system will deter misinformation succor on the network at large.
The project comes surrounded a growing dissension over mail-in voting, which multitudinous voting boards listen put forward as a way to minimize the virus risk of undeceivable in-person polling places. Despite casting opulent absentee ballots by mail, President Trump has been lucidly expository of the efforts, baselessly accusing mail-in ballots of fact "a formula for sportswear an election."
More recently, President Trump has obscured funding to the US Postal Service as a way of preventing mail-in ballots from fact fitter delivered. "[Democrats] need that money in order to listen the Column Symposium assignment so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots," he told Fox Commerce in an interview. "Those are just two items, loosely if they don't get those two items that organ you can't listen usual mail-in voting."
