This might be behind a paywall so:
Trump campaign places Facebook ads telling users wrong election day
Messages seen by up to 200,000 voters before they were taken down for violating misinformation rules
The Trump campaign has sent Facebook advertisements to tens of thousands of voters in swing states, erroneously telling them it was election day after the social media group’s ad blockers failed to detect messages that violated its rules on misinformation. President Donald Trump’s campaign sent out messages on Tuesday including “Vote Today!” and “Election Day is Today!” a week before polling day of November 3, despite a Facebook ban on any advertisements that give out the wrong election date. Facebook later removed the messages, but not before they had been seen by about 200,000 voters, mostly in swing states such as Florida, Arizona and Georgia. Democratic strategists said they were concerned the messages were evidence that the Trump campaign was trying to dissuade their voters in swing states from voting on the correct day. They added, however, that the advertisements might also have been the byproduct of a botched attempt by Facebook to restrict political advertising in the week before the election. The president’s re-election team published its latest posts on a chaotic day of online campaigning, during which Facebook attempted to implement a temporary ban on new political advertising but struggled to cope as campaigns rushed to publish new messages before the deadline.
It was not clear whether the Trump campaign was deliberately telling voters the wrong election date or merely trying to register an advertisement it intended to promote in a week’s time. The Trump campaign did not respond to a request to comment. Eric Reif, managing director at eStreet Group, a Democratic campaign group, said: “It is good that these messages are being taken down but they very plainly never should have been approved in the first place.” Facebook announced a month ago that it would ban all new political advertising for a week before the election, and said this month that it would ban all political advertising for about a week afterwards.

the good thing is the majority of counties are red and i'm sure the blue ones will definitely take advantage of the new start time. get the big numbers up on the board, overwhelm them to the point that by the time you're finished and the number of outstanding votes that are left to count can't make up the deficit. that'll show 'em.
and it's so good to come into a thread and be a little confused because people are bytching at a poster who is blocked.

I'm getting a sense of dread about PA
Also saw the NYTimes piece where the guy reporting on the ground was saying he doesn't see on the ground what is reflected in the polls.
Just end this shyt already. Longest week ever.
So the lead is comfortable, just not comfortable enough. Just to be clear. District polling shows Biden is well ahead. Same polling showed Hillary collapsing in late Oct 2016.
look at these sluts about to do the walk of shame in the freezing cold.
HOOOOOOOOOOOES.
HOOOOOOOOOOOES.
The pollster for ABC is Langer and they’re better at national polls rather than state tbh
That Wisconsin number is definitely an outlier. Biden was already averaging 50% there anyway.
if its not obvious that trump is tanking by now then...
Yeah, its just one poll and they aren’t herding which is good.
Still, nothing pointing to any tightening right now.
The Economist’s last poll just dropped and they have Biden +11 nationally.
they can't be +16 off though right?
i so want a blowout, but i'm not so greedy where i won't be happy with a close one.
About a good portion of Wisconsin is rural, so its really Republican territory. Yet, the funny thing is, those places are so small that if people simply vote Democratic, Wisconsin would be blue. So it's about enthusiasm and GOTV. Yet even just now our state is simply having a influx of COVID.
That and the Dairy Industry, the pride of our state, has nosedived under Trump.
Agreed. Instead of discussing a threat to the president we want, let’s just ignore a tidal wave forming and pretend it’s not happening. Got it.
How can you tell if the poll is herding? Did you read the poll details?
nikka NOBODY GIVES A fukk!!!
You the only one that cares about this DUMB ASS RIGHT WING shyt
