  • A contentious 8 November 2016 election (and its results) led to a cottage industry of preying on hopes that a pre-inauguration upset was going to take place. One instance of this came from Bipartisan Report, which published a 6 December 2016 headline claiming that the swing state of Florida was moving for a FULL RECOUNT because of purported voting irregularities: The article was primed to move on Facebook and Twitter, but its content did not quite match its headline. Bipartisan Report cited the Detroit Free Press, but that source material did not support the claim that Florida sought a recount. That article reported that three voters filed a suit likely to have no effects on the state's certification process (according to the attorney for the plaintiffs): The claim that Florida uncovered massive voter fraud or moved to recount any of the ballots in 2016 was false. Additionally, the 12 December 2016 safe-harbor deadline in Florida came and went with no movement on the part of election officials to either recount ballots or contest the results in that state.
