Kicked off Twitter and Facebook after his supporters stormed the US Capitol, Donald Trump eventually set up his own platform Truth Social, declaring in April 2022 after a stumbling launch:"I'm Back! #COVFEFE."
In the past 58 days, Trump has shared about 100 posts on Truth Social casting doubt on the integrity of US elections, according to an AFP analysis of the former president's more than 1,200 interactions in that period. "If leaders tell their followers that elections are unreliable, their followers believe them," Russell Muirhead, professor of politics and democracy at Dartmouth College, told AFP.
Although Trump's reach on Truth Social is relatively small -- 4.46 million compared to the 88.8 million he enjoyed on Twitter -- experts say the misinformation he spreads reverberates across the internet. "Trump still has an outsized impact on the Republican Party and on the right-wing media ecosystem more broadly, and every claim he makes gets amplified," said Rebekah Tromble, director of George Washington University's Institute for Data, Democracy, and Politics.
The voter in question was depositing ballots for himself and his wife, who was in the car, according to a witness statement he provided in a lawsuit against Jennings' group, Clean Elections USA. He also filed a state voter intimidation complaint.
