Falsified video of Joe Biden appearing to forget what state he’s in racks up 1 million-plus views (NY Daily News)

You've probably seen it.

Here's the story behind it.

The meat of it:
... The original video clip was shot during a rally in Minnesota in which Biden called out, “Hello, Minnesota!” when he greeted supporters. Signs behind him were altered to make it look as if he were shouting those words in Tallahassee, Florida. ...

One million views = .41% of eligible voters in USA (240-million voters), ie: LESS that one-half of one percent; .30% of US population

- Does not take into account how many views were by:

— eligible voters
— voters who have already voted
— voters who don’t plan on voting
— % of voters who have already made up their minds before seeing the video and who won’t be swayed by the video
— how many of those 1-million views were unique, and how many were multiple views by a single person

Like I said, insignificant
