The claim

Social media users claim that a clause in a contract allows election staff to overturn official results.

Original publisher’s rating

FALSE: Election workers cannot overturn results. This clause allows election workers to manually tally votes during live broadcast in case of software failure, but it has no impact on the official results of an election.
