The 2024 presidential election was called for Donald Trump on Nov. 6, with the president-elect winning 312 electoral votes and Vice President Kamala Harris receiving 226. The elections also saw Republicans regain control of the Senate and likely keep control of the House of Representatives, although several congressional districts have yet to be decided as of Nov. 12.
But social media posts, falsely citing CBS News, have made unfounded claims that the presidential election outcome may have been the result of cheating.
A Nov. 10 post on Threads claimed, “CBS is reporting cheating in the election. If the accusations are true. There could be a recount. This will change everything. Let’s cross our fingers!”
A similar post on X on Nov. 6 said, “CBS News is currently accusing Donald Trump of cheating his victory over the 2024 Presidential Election.” As of Nov. 11, the post was viewed 2.7 million times and received 43,000 likes, according to the platform.
