(5,935 posts)According to the Washington Post
That viral image showing #TrumpWon starting in Russia is probably fake
But TrendsMap does show the timeline of #TrumpWon tweets in St. Petersburg and they began well after the hashtag took off in Washington, for example. There was a spike as interest in the topic peaked globally, which is what you'd expect in a local region from something that's trending globally. (The graphs in other cities, like London, peaked at the same time. London, though, saw more sustained traffic on the hashtag.)

I'm very curious if any of those sites will release
an analysis of who voted - especially where
they are from (and if they were masking their true origin).
It would be very easy to do... and would be enlightening.

That's fine, but it keeps it trending. I used #shewon, that way as to not help the Trumpers
