The US midterm elections saw several false and unsubstantiated rumours circulating online, with suggestions that the vote in certain states was being rigged.
We've looked at some of the most widely shared claims.
Arizona voting machine problems
About a fifth of voting machines in Maricopa County, which includes the state's largest city, Phoenix, malfunctioned early on Tuesday due to a printer error.
This slowed down voting, but election officials said every vote would be counted and that they were working to fix the problem.
The glitch prompted claims that the vote was being rigged.
Former President Donald Trump said: "They are trying to steal the election with bad machines and delay. Don't let it happen."
Kari Lake, the Arizona Republican candidate for governor, did not immediately claim fraud but in an interview said: "I hope there's been no malice involved, I know there's been incompetency."
Election officials also reassured voters they had a backup plan in place if machines malfunctioned, posting a video showing people how to place their ballot in the secure drop box attached to the machine.
Ms Lake tweeted that any votes put in this drop box would "likely not be counted for weeks".
But election officials disputed that, saying ballots in the drop box would be counted on election day. Ms Lake later deleted the tweet.
She has previously falsely claimed the 2020 election was won by Donald Trump.
