The tweet also seemed to show that Trump was back on Twitter after his campaign had kept him from posting in the days heading into the election.

According to the Associated Press, "Election officials in Utah said voting machine problems in the southern part of the state forced poll workers early in the day to use paper ballots."

Pretty sure southern Utah is not the entire United States. That pesky "r" makes a huge difference.

It's also unclear where Trump was getting the supposed CNN report about the voting problem.
