LITO AVERIA
COMING from a technology forum with journalists where I discussed, among others, trolling and fake news that dominated the campaign period in the 2016 elections and months afterwards, I received the following text message, “Re: VP Protest Case. Recount of ballots from 4-5 provinces will start end of November and will finish by December. Deliberations after. You can bet early next year, we have a new VP.” The sender said that the text message had been going around and wanted to know if it was true. He also wanted to know at what stage the vice-presidential election protest case really is.
