With the vote count still incomplete and the tight race between the two US presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, potentially misleading claims are circulating on social media regarding voting and counting in key states.
The count is still ongoing in the state of Pennsylvania, and along with this, some of the most widely shared claims on social media regarding the situation there have been seen.
Election observer denied entry to election center (but later allowed)
A viral video shows an election observer being denied entry to a polling place in Philadelphia. The video has racked up 2 million views on Twitter and has been shared by many other pro-Trump accounts, claiming that Republican observers are being denied entry to polling places.
The man seen in the video, Gary Feldman, a local Republican, was asked not to enter because his observer accreditation did not apply to all polling places. The video was authentic and the man was being denied entry, but it turns out there was confusion about the rules.
The democratic poster did not break the rules
A tweet shared by Mike Roman, who worked for Trump's election campaign, claimed that a Democratic poster had been placed near a polling station, saying it violated election rules.
Pennsylvania election rules prohibit materials, signs, banners, and other election materials from being placed within 10 meters of a polling place.
However, such a claim by Roman was disputed by the Philadelphia District Attorney's office, finding that the poster was more than 10 meters away from the polling station.
Trump's votes were not "thrown" by an election worker
This false claim appeared on Instagram, saying that an election worker in Erie County, Pennsylvania, had cast more than 100 votes for President Trump.
These photos were shared on Twitter by businessman Mike Coudrey, who then deleted the tweet, although it had more than 600 retweets by the time it was removed.
These images were shared on Facebook by various pro-Trump and other groups, but some have been deleted.
The Erie County Board of Elections has dismissed the claim, calling it "false."
Counting center employees have never stopped counting.
A claim that election workers in the city of Philadelphia had stopped counting ballots has circulated on social media, and was used by President Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Mr. Giuliani said that the "crooked Democratic machine" has stopped the counting.
But this has been denied by Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt, who issued a statement on Twitter saying that Philadelphia will not stop counting.
Another statement from city commissioners clarified that the count was continuing, but there were some delays in reporting.
"We will continue counting throughout the day."
