Facebook hopes to stop foreigners from meddling in future US elections by verifying their location via postcard.

The postcards will contain a specific code required if a campaign mentions a specific candidate running for office. It won't be required for issues-based campaigns. Once the buyer receives the postcard, they'll be able to use the code to verify their ad campaign on Facebook.
