We saw similar videos circulated after the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. Some were so amateurish as to be laughable &#8212; with looped video run in reverse in an attempt to portray an election official as counting the same ballot over and over again, complete with a voice-over with a heavy Russian accent &#8212; but some are now likely to be far more professional. Social media companies will need to crack down on organized disinformation campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Requests for recounts are fair enough in a hotly-contested race but are unlikely to change the outcome.
