Twitter Plays Thought Police, Censors Another Trump Tweet on Mail-In Voting

Twitter on Sunday flagged a tweet from President Donald Trump in which the president warned that people could use mailboxes to vote multiple times.

The social media giant said the tweet violated its rules on “civic and election integrity.”

The company claimed that Trump’s tweet, which also suggested that contaminated mailboxes could give people COVID-19, violated its “Civic Integrity Policy for making misleading health claims that could potentially dissuade people from participation in voting.”

“Among other things, they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times,” Trump tweeted Sunday, referring to mailboxes.

“Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitized. A big fraud!”

So now the Democrats are using Mail Drop Boxes, which are a voter security disaster. Among other things, they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times. Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitized. A big fraud!

Twitter censored a tweet Trump posted in May in which he argued against the use of mail-in ballots.
