Just out according to @CNN: "Utah officials report voting machine problems across entire country"

Several reporters and others on Twitter were quick to correct Trump's hasty tweet.
No. Utah officials reported machine problems across one entire COUNTY, not the entire COUNTRY. https://t.co/6jWMw7qzvQ

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.
@timkmak I think it's safe to say someone got their phone back...

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.
