 Good morning. After
Yosemite selfies, bathroom selfies, and big fish you caught off the
Florida coast selfies, ballot selfies are some of the most popular
renditions of the genre. But be careful out there today—only 25 states
plus D.C. have permitted you to take a picture with your completed
ballot.
Happy voting!

Markets: In the calm before the storm, stocks rebounded from last week's sell-off. Pro investors are looking at a wide variety of indicators, such as individual county results, to tease out whether Biden or Trump will prevail.
-
Economy: Good news from the manufacturing sector, which in October expanded
at its fastest pace in two years and saw new orders hit their highest
level since 2004. This is the last major economic data release before
the election.

Once upon a
time, Americans learned the results of an election when a messenger on
horseback galloped into town. Eventually that turned into radio, then
the dependable delivery of Walter Cronkite, and now...280 characters on
Twitter.
In 2020,
social media platforms have become a go-to source for election
information—and misinformation. So if you're one of the millions of
Americans who'll be "working" today with a social media feed open on
your second monitor, here's what to expect.
The run-up
Russian interference in the 2016 election and subsequent bouts with fake news have forced social media execs to enact new policies targeting misinformation, election interference, and conspiracy theories. Changes include...
-
Labels: Facebook and Twitter started slapping warning signs on more false and misleading content, including posts from the president.
-
Advertising: Last fall, Twitter and
TikTok banned all political ads. Facebook created a publicly available
database for transparency and banned new ads from running this week.
-
Slowing virality: Twitter added
extra friction to retweets, and Facebook and Instagram are lightly
pressing the brake on viral content this week. So, yes, it's Zuck's
fault your post only got 15 likes.
Big picture: Many of these new policies are controversial, inconsistent in enforcement, and still in flux, OneZero reports. Not all experts think it's been enough to protect voters.
Today's plan
There's a
reason Facebook calls its election ops center a "war room." Platforms
have expanded their arsenals this election cycle to help voters through a
confusing time.
Election hubs:
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat are highlighting election
information like where votes are still being counted, which results have
been verified, and how ballot counting works.
Confirming results:
Platforms are also using labels to limit candidates' abilities to
prematurely declare victory when those victories aren't yet confirmed.
- What counts as official? Yesterday, Twitter said it's using seven news outlets
with verified decision desks. It will require corroboration from at
least two outlets or an announcement from state election officials.
Odds and ends: TikTok
will show live Associated Press results. Pinterest is labeling or
deleting content that undermines election integrity. And Facebook's
WhatsApp and Messenger platforms are limiting message forwarding to
prevent misinformation from going viral.
What should you do? Think twice about sharing and use the Brew's guide to fact checking social media.

As you rush
to send off one last email or tidy up that spreadsheet before heading
out to vote, just know you're not alone—balancing the work day with
Election Day is a headache for millions of Americans.
- A 2017 Pew Research survey revealed that 14% of voters don't vote because they are too busy or have scheduling conflicts.
This year,
more companies are stepping up to the plate, clearing any surprise
all-hands from the cal to give employees time to make it to the polls
today.
- More than 1,700 organizations have joined Time to Vote,
a nonpartisan initiative spearheaded by Patagonia, Levi Strauss, and
PayPal that encourages employee participation in elections. Four hundred
orgs were involved in 2018.
- And if "encouragement" isn't enough, employers are legally required to give workers time off to vote in 30 states.
Zoom out: This
Election Day, many employees won't have to choose between their
professional and civic duties. Nearly 100 million Americans have already voted, more than two-thirds of the total turnout in 2016.

Two mall landlords, CBL Properties and Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT), filed for bankruptcy on Sunday.
With most
brick-and-mortar retail getting walloped by the pandemic, this news was a
"when, not if" scenario. More than 30 of CBL's retail tenants have also
gone bankrupt this year, including JCPenney, Ann Taylor-owner Ascena
Retail Group, and Pier 1 Imports.
- During the strictest
lockdown periods in the spring, Tennessee-based CBL barely collected any
rent—just 27% of what it was owed in April and a third in May.
Zoom out: Malls in general are in bad shape, but CBL and PREIT in particular? Not positioned well.
They own so-called "B-class" malls, which are located in less
affluent/less urban areas. As retailers across the country shrink their
real estate footprints, experts think these B-class properties will be
among the first casualties.
+ While we're here...Friendly's, a Northeast diner chain and classic post-school hangout spot, also declared bankruptcy. Just writing that brought back a flood of memories.

As our
collective obsession over a mullet-donning, big cat-peddling zoo owner
earlier this year shows, Netflix has a profound ability to drive
collective cultural moments. The streaming platform is at it again with The Queen's Gambit,
a show about a fictional chess prodigy whose popularity has many
viewers confronting the uncomfortable question: Is chess actually cool?
The numbers say yes
According to
data from Apptopia, daily U.S. downloads of the top four mobile chess
games across the Apple and Google app stores are up 63% since the show debuted.
- Chess-mania had been building even before The Queen's Gambit. Hours watched of chess on the streaming platform Twitch roughly doubled every month from January until May.
Zoom out:
It is jarring to some purists that the ancient game of chess is finding
new life on the backs of modern tech platforms, but those highest up in
the game are open to it.
"I've always wanted to bring it to the masses," says Hikaru Nakamura, a
hugely popular chess streamer on Twitch and the top-ranked blitz chess
player in the world.
