Online Public Relations Thoughts

 This presidential election has turned into a hotbed of rumors as each side vies for supremacy.  There are two tactics that election officials can take to calm citizenry -- transparency and communication.  Pennsylvania is transmitting live video of the counting operation that anyone can monitor.  Other authorities are speaking out to knock down fast-flying misinformation.  Still, protestors are gathering at vote counting sites and calling for change.  They are within their rights to do that, but they will be wrong if they attempt to raid the locations and trash ballots.  It's looking now like Biden-Harris will be declared winners later today, but the suspense is raising anxiety in both camps and Trump has already said he won't abide by the election results.  Look for more protests as the days go by -- especially if Biden claims victory.
