The author of the news site in question — called "70news"— claims the erroneous numbers came from "twitter posts [sic]" and that results from "Wikipedia or [Mainstream media]" don't match the site's own because "liberals are still reeling and recovering from Trump-shock victory."

A sidebar on the site points readers to other false stories involving a conspiracy theory that billionaire Democratic donor George Soros is funding Anti-Trump protests. An entire section of the site is dedicated to "Hillary's Health."

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly insisted that these types of hoaxes do not affect user opinions.

"Overall, this makes it extremely unlikely hoaxes changed the outcome of this election in one direction or the other," Zuckerberg said in a post on Saturday.
