The US president has claimed without evidence that mail drop boxes for voting are 'not COVID-19 sanitised'.
Twitter has flagged one of Donald Trump's tweets as"violating" its policy for"making misleading health claims that could potentially dissuade people from participation in voting".
The US president has repeatedly criticised postal voting ahead of November's election, but in a tweet on Sunday he suggested without evidence that mail drop boxes would encourage fraud and put people at risk of contracting coronavirus. "So now the Democrats are using Mail Drop Boxes, which are a voter security disaster. Among other things, they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times," he said.
"Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitised. A big fraud!" We placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our Civic Integrity Policy for making misleading health claims that could potentially dissuade people from participation in voting.
