His appointment of the Post Master General there only to sabotage mail-in v****g, which he has vigorously done. Then there is his numerous lies and distortions about mail-in v****g for months, undermining the process. V****g is fundamental to our government and our way of life, and the president wants to make it seem the process is unreliable.
Facebook pulled 48 Trump e******n campaign ads which told people 'your v**e has not been counted'. The ads consisted of video clips with accompanying text saying: "Your v**e has not been counted. This is the fight for our future. President Trump needs you to take action, and v**e. We need you to v**e early."
Another version has the same text, but with the sentences in a different order. All include the phrase "your v**e has not been counted."
Some of the videos were footage of President Donald Trump praising Amy Coney Barrett, Trump's Supreme Court nominee, while others urged people to v**e early.

Facebook removed 48 ads from the Trump campaign for violating their v**er interference policy, a spokesperson told Business Insider.
They included the phrase "Your v**e has not been counted."
The ads were aimed at people who had not yet v**ed, but would likely have also been seen by people who had v**ed. Some 399,000 people saw them.
President Donald Trump has argued, without evidence, that the US e******n is r****d, and stoked paranoia among his v**ers about their b****ts being ignored.
Facebook said the ads violated its v**er interference policies, but declined to explain precisely how.
Business Insider contacted the Trump campaign for comment, but did not immediately receive a reply.

It's unclear exactly what in the ads led to them being pulled. Facebook did not respond to a query about the specific reasoning behind the decision, beyond referring to a blog post about its v**er interference policy.
The policy was is designed to protect "the integrity of the e******n by fighting foreign interference, misinformation and v**er suppression."
Although E******n Day is still to come on November 3, the statement "your v**e has not been counted" had the potential to be misleading for a number of American v**ers when the ads ran, starting October 9.
States vary as to when they allow b****ts to be processed and counted, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
At least six states allow counting to begin prior to E******n Day. In Florida, counting can begin up to 22 days before — at which point the Trump campaign ads would still have been live.
