On Tuesday, Twitter began censoring Trump's tweets less than a year after a federal court ruled that the president is barred from blocking other users. //
Hey Twitter, fact-check this…a member of my staff received THREE mail-in ballots, addressed to three different individuals, to the same address! And they say your claims of ballot-fraud are “unsubstantiated” @realDonaldTrump. //
In 2012, the New York Times headlined a piece, “Error and Fraud at Issue as Absentee Voting Rises.”
“There is a bipartisan consensus that voting by mail, whatever its impact, is more easily abused than other forms,” the Times wrote. “Votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistic show. Election officials reject almost 2 percent of ballots cast by mail, double the rate for in-person voting.”
A 2005 commission chaired by former Democratic President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker III also found that “absentee ballots remain the largest source of voter fraud” and is “vulnerable to abuse in several ways.” Ballots can be sent to wrong addresses and “voting schemes are far more difficult to detect.”
Marc Thiessen points out in the Washington Post that there is a major difference between mailing ballots to a small fraction of the electorate that requests one rather than to every registered voter in the country, as Democrats have proposed. //
Trump therefore, under current circumstances can’t block other users from viewing his posts on a platform that censors his own content. Is that legal?
