Twitter’s Trump ‘Fact Check’ Does Not Disclose Company Partnered with Groups Pushing Mail-In Ballots
By: Aaron Klein, 27 May 2020:
Twitter for the first time put a fact-check label on tweets from President Trump, using the controversial tactic on messages in which the president complained there is “no way” that “mail-in ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent.”
Story continues below advertisementIt may be instructive that Twitter seized on the mail-in balloting tweets as the first issue from Trump’s rapid fire social media feed to slap with a fact-check label. Twitter did not disclose in its so-called fact-check it is partners with two groups financed by leftist donors that engage in voter participation efforts, including drives pushing mail-in balloting.
Twitter sits on the “Premier Partner” list of one of those groups alongside ViacomCBS, the merger of Viacom and CBS. Twitter’s so-called fact-check about Trump’s mail-in balloting cited CBS political reporter Grace Segers vouching for mail-in voting.
Analysts have posited such proposals help the Democratic Party. Republicans specifically fear the prospect of voter fraud, since mail-in voting would be harder to authenticate.
Yesterday, Trump tweeted the following, earning him the badge reading “Get the facts about mail-in ballots”:
Twitter did not disclose it is an active “Premier Partner” of Vote Early Day 2020, an election advocacy group seeking to educate voters that they can cast their ballots prior to Election Day, including via the vote-by-mail option.
The front page of the group’s website promotes mail-in balloting, telling voters that “more states are adopting additional Vote Early options, such as vote-by-mail, and we are expecting these changes to increase voter turnout. We want everyone to know their options.”
The organization suggests voters “throw a party or parade” so “friends can come together to fill-in their mail-in ballots.”
The website states:
Through parties at the polls and community parades to early voting sites, organizations across the country will inspire more Americans to vote early. Even in states without in-person early voting, friends can come together to fill-in their mail-in ballots.
The group’s mission statement includes mail-in options (emphasis added):
When Americans vote early, they ensure that last minute problems will not prevent them from casting their ballots – and help shorten voting lines on Election Day for everyone. But voting early rules – both for in-person and by-mail options – vary widely all over the country, causing confusion and preventing voters from casting their ballots. We’re here to make voting early easier. Given our current conditions with COVID-19, having multiple options to safely cast your ballot is critical.

“Given our current conditions with COVID-19, having multiple options to safely cast your ballot is critical.” So get all your friends together and have a vote signing party, that’ll show that virus.

The current status of the virus show it is DECLINING by the majority of states. Never let facts get in the way. Drive through a biased opinon instead. There are a few hot spots and states like NY and NJ are not under control yet but the rest of the country is seeing the Chinese virus abating.

It was never a threat to most people and the response should only ever have been to protect the elderly and those with other underlying conditions. Everything else was politically motivated, not science based.

I’ll tell you exactly how this is going to work for the Commiecrats. They are going to use the billions that Bloomberg, Soros, and Their ilk are donating to buy votes using any number of tried and tested means. Want to come to the block party? Want to get the free booze and crack? Want to get a job where you don’t have to show up/ The offers will be made ad infinatum and it will all be in exchange for ballots marked for the Commiecrat candidates. Ballots will be sent out in duplicate to lists not purged in 20 years. It will be wholesale fraud on an immense and obvious basis. The Commiecrats and their Dog Fart Media will declare an overwhelming victory on November 3. Now, let me predict what will happen next. Trump will declare the election void for fraud. The Commiecrats will not concede. The courts will be paralyzed. We will have a civil war next year. Be prepared and know who your enemies are. They may be your neighbor, they may be a family member. It’s not going to be pretty.
