Post claiming that the IEC tried their "corruption and fumbled".

Outcome

Overview

This tweet says that the IEC has failed in its corruption in KZN, meaning that it didn't manage to rig voting but implying that it tried. It also implies that the Eastern Cape was rigged. The tweet reads as follows: "I'm glad that The ANC in KZN has failed. The IEC tried their corruption and fumbled. Watch and learn Eastern Cape ? #SAVotes #ElectionDaySA #ElectionResults".

Background & Outcome

The claim that the "IEC tried their corruption and fumbled" is baseless and problematic. False claims of corruption by the IEC undermine public confidence in the IEC, which still has to run future elections. Most of the content is perfectly appropriate political engagement and opinion. The issue at hand is: "The IEC tried their corruption and fumbled".
