The debunks are collected in 👇 post & thread below https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/janelytvynenko/post-elections-debunks
1. The Trump campaign’s communications director tweeted a fake Washington Times cover.

The Washington Times confirmed on Twitter that the cover — plastered around campaign HQ — is fake.
2. No, Mitt Romney has not been asked to join a Biden cabinet.

This fake comes from Buffalo Chronicle, a website that nearly upended the Canadian election last year with a made-up Justin Trudeau story.
3. No, CNN did not report that Dick Cheney will be advising Biden on foreign policy.

A quick search of the CNN website shows that the tweet, which stems from an unreliable account, is false.

4. No, secret computer systems called “Hammer” and “Scorecard” are not being used to commit voter fraud.

Chris Krebs, the head of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said on Nov. 7 that these claims were “nonsense.”
