"Washington (CNN Business)For the first time, Twitter called tweets from Donald Trump "potentially misleading" a decision that prompted the president to accuse the social media platform of election meddling.
On Tuesday, Twitter highlighted two of Trump's tweets that falsely claimed mail-in ballots would lead to widespread voter fraud, appending a message the company has introduced to combat misinformation and disputed or unverified claims.
"Get the facts about mail-in ballots," read the message beneath each tweet. It linked to a curated fact-check page the platform had created filled with further links and summaries of news articles debunking the assertion. "
"Shortly after the labels were applied, Trump took to Twitter to claim the company "is interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election" and "stifling FREE SPEECH." He added that he "will not allow it to happen!""
(What, by tweeting it?)
"Twitter's actions quickly led to criticism from some of its users, however, who said the measures did not go far enough. Some faulted Twitter for not explicitly saying in the label that Trump's tweets contained false information; other users said the company should have used a larger font size.
The instant feedback highlights how Twitter, which has long grappled with how to address Trump's tweets, may now find itself under even greater pressure than before to act in a consistent and transparent manner. "

Texas AG Launches Mail-Ballot Voter Fraud Probe in Harris County
State officials are launching an investigation into alleged voter fraud after receiving a citizen complaint about mail-ballot harvesting in Harris County.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office notified local resident Colleen Vera earlier this week that they are taking action on her election complaint, which was filed with the Texas Secretary of State’s office in April.
Paxton’s probe comes as his office is fighting two lawsuits filed by the Texas Democrat Party using the coronavirus as an excuse to allow everyone to vote by mail.
Vera’s complaint documents that “people with prior forgery convictions picked up large batches of ballot by mail applications for local campaigns and a number of voted ballots were marked identically,” said SOS Director of Elections Keith Ingram when he referred the matter to OAG earlier this month.
A video first made public by watchdog group Direct Action Texas, showing what appeared to be illegal mail-ballot harvesting in Harris County’s 2018 Democrat primary, prompted Vera’s research.
The video shows a woman identifying herself as a campaign worker for State Rep. Harold Dutton (D–Houston) and telling an elderly voter how to fill out her ballot, adding “we’ve done over 400 already.”
“After seeing the video, you can’t help but say there’s a problem here,” Vera told Texas Scorecard.

Democrats in the House and blue state governors across the country are right now pushing for ballots to be sent out to all registered voters not just those who request an absentee ballot, they want to combine that with a refusal to purge the voter rolls insuring that millions of ballots will go to the address of dead people or people who have moved out of state, then they want legalized ballot harvesting which is conducted by far left DNC activists. Ya we see you mother fuckers and you're not fooling anyone.
Ex-Nevada AG describes ballots 'piled up in apartments and trash cans and in hallways' due to mail-in voting
"This is the game," said Laxalt, outside counsel for the nonprofit Americans for Public Trust. "It's about winning elections and gaining power and here in my swing state ... you are seeing videos of thousands of ballots that are piled up in apartments and trash cans and in hallways. And this is all because we are doing our first mail-in ballot election in the history of our state all under the cloak of the pandemic."
The former state AG went on to claim that Nevada, which is one of several states that have chosen to expand mail-in voting during the COVID-19 pandemic, has been sending absentee ballots to inactive voters.
"Inactive voters, 200,000 of them were mailed ballots all across the greater Las Vegas area," he said, "and we have no way to know if these are going to lead to massive voter fraud, and they continue to sue to get rid of signature verifications and to enact the California-style ballot harvesting right here in Nevada."
Laxalt urged residents to "put pressure" on the Nevada secretary of state's office as well as local registrars to "stop this practice."
"The interesting thing about this," he noted, "is that the Democrat registrar in Clark County [where Las Vegas is located] said 'I don't want to mail inactive voters' ... What happened? His county commission, almost all Democrats, said, 'You are going to mail inactive voters.' ... There's a postal worker in Las Vegas who was quoted as saying, 'I'm seeing ballots everywhere. They're not secure. What is going to happen with all these ballots?'"

Instead of that why don't they just delete the lies and leave a little place marker where they were. How would you word it?
"Twitter has determined that the comments made here were false."
"Twitter has removed this comment in the interests of truth."
"Twitter has removed this comment because we're damn sick and tired of being used like Trump's 2-bit whores."

Close Results In Paterson Vote Plagued By Fraud Claims; Over 3K Ballots Seemingly Set Aside
Amid widespread vote-by-mail fraud allegations in the Paterson city council election, one race was apparently decided by just 8 votes.
Incumbent Shahin Khalique defeated Mohammed Akhtaruzzaman 1,729 votes to 1,721. And long-time council member William McKoy lost by 245 votes to challenger Alex Mendez.
A Passaic County spokesman said 16,747 vote-by-mail ballots were received, but the county's official results page shows 13,557 votes were counted a difference of 3,190 votes. Those thousands of ballots not counted would represent nearly one in five of all votes cast, or 19 percent.
The Board of Elections previously announced about 800 votes would be set aside and not counted amid charges they were found improperly bundled in mailboxes in Paterson as well as at a drop box in nearby Haledon.
The spokesman later told the Paterson Press that the additional 2,390 disqualifications were due to the election board comparing signatures on the ballots to those previously on file for voters, and the new ones not matching up. The spokesman also would not explain the breakdown of what ward those ballots were from, or which candidates were voted for in those disqualified ballots.
According to the Paterson Press, four wards had more votes go uncounted than the winner's margin of victory meaning the uncounted ballots possibly could have tipped the election in favor of one of the candidates.
The election results could be challenged in court once the election is certified. There are ongoing accusations of ballot stuffing, vote stealing and fraud casting a dark cloud over the election.
There is a genuine absentee ballot fraud scandal going on in Paterson, said election law expert and University of California-Irvine School of Law professor Rick Hasen. While ballot fraud is rare, Hasen wrote in his blog, "When someone tries an absentee ballot scheme like this clumsy attempt in Paterson, it is hard to hide. People get caught. The Paterson election was vote-by-mail only due to the coronavirus crisis.
