Analysts have predicted that President Trump and the Republicans could build a lead immediately after polls close on Election Day but that Democrats could make up ground in the days and weeks after Nov.
The company said that if any candidate or campaign tries to declare victory before the final results are in, theyll add a label to their posts directing people to official results from Reuters and the National Election Pool.
Mr. Zuckerberg said Facebook will use its Voting Information Center to prepare people for the possibility that it may take a while to get official results and said the information will help people understand that there is nothing illegitimate about not having a result on election night.
He said Facebook has strengthened its enforcement against militias, conspiracy networks like QAnon, and other groups that could be used to organize violence or civil unrest in the period after the elections.
Mr. Zuckerberg said they took down a network of 12 accounts and two pages last week trying to mislead Americans and amplify divisions.
Weve removed more than 100 networks worldwide engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior over the past couple of years, including ahead of major democratic elections, he said.
