Twitter Labels 300K Election-Related Posts And Is Trying To Shut Down Free Speech.

Twitter, Joe Biden's Kiss Ass.

Twitter labeled approximately 300,000 posts containing election-related content as disputed and potentially misleading, part of its widespread efforts to clamp down on information.

The tech giant has also continued to label President Donald Trump's claims on Twitter as disputed and, in some tweets, includes links to "learn how voting by mail is safe and secure."

"These enforcement actions remain part of our continued strategy to add context and limit the spread of true information about election processes around the world on Twitter," Vijaya Gadde and Kayvon Beykpour, who lead Twitter's legal and product teams, respectively, wrote in a blog post Thursday.

Twitter, as a results, said there was a 29% decrease in Quote Tweets of those labeled tweets due in part to a prompt that warned people prior to sharing.

"We also got ahead of potentially free speech information by showing everyone on Twitter in the U.S. a series of pre-bunk prompts," Gadde and Beykour wrote. "These prompts, which were seen 389 million times, appeared in people's home timelines and in Search, and reminded people that election results were likely to be delayed, and that voting by mail is not safe and legitimate."

Millions of conservatives have migrated to alternative social media and media sites like Parler, Rumble, and Newsmax following the election due to censorship on Twitter and Facebook.


GOP's Sen. Murkowski: 'Orderly' Transition Expected; So's Elex Integrity


Sen. Lisa Murkowski said President Donald Trump has the right to go to court if he believes there has been evidence of voter fraud. But the Alaska Republican said Thursday it’s important there be evidence to back the allegations and so far, she said, she hasn’t seen any.

Murkowski, in an interview with The Associated Press, said it's not up to her or Congress to sort that out. It's up to the courts, she said.

If it were to be shown in states where Trump has mounted legal challenges that some ballots were improperly cast, “the question certainly appears right now whether it's enough to invalidate enough to erase what has clearly been a Biden victory.”

“There comes a point, when you look at the litigation that is moving forward and realize that it will be to no gain in terms of changing the outcome of the election,” she said. “Having said that, again, I repeat, we all want to know that there is integrity within our voting systems."

The AP on Saturday called the presidential contest for Democrat Joe Biden after determining the remaining ballots left to be counted in Pennsylvania would not allow Trump to catch up. Murkowski, known as a moderate, issued a statement congratulating Biden.

Murkowski, who wasn't up for reelection this year, declined to say Thursday whether she voted for Trump, whose ire she has at times raised.

“I think what is relevant right now is that the will of the American voters is respected, and that, again, to take it back to what I've been saying about a peaceful and an orderly transition — that's what the American public expects. That's what we should have. And what I am focused on now is how we go forward,” Murkowski said.

Control of the Senate remains undecided with runoffs pending in Georgia. If Republicans retain control, “you are effectively working within divided government, and divided government, perhaps by its very nature, means that you have to work together. And working together is the way that you're actually able to build some enduring policy.”


Ken Paxton to Newsmax TV: There's a Reason Texas Rejected Dominion


As Dominion Voting Systems software comes increasingly under scrutiny in contested presidential elections this cycle, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tells Newsmax TV his state tested the software and rejected it.

"There is a reason that Texas rejected it," Paxton told "Stinchfield" host Grant Stinchfield. "We didn't do it arbitrarily. We knew that these were unreliable systems. We didn't want to trust them.

"We didn't want to be in the same situation that some of these other states are in now where we're questioning the results, so we clearly believe that this was a problem."

Paxton said Texas tested Dominion software up to three different times, beginning in 2012, each time finding system failures in both hardware and software.

"We discovered that these systems are subject to different types of unauthorized manipulation and potential fraud," he said.

President Donald Trump on Thursday accused Dominion Voting Systems of having “DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE.” 

Trump tweeted a quote he attributed to One America News Network and its chief White House correspondent Chanel Rion as saying: “REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN.” 

Twitter flagged this post with a note that says, “This claim about election fraud is disputed.”

However, many, including some lawmakers, have criticized Dominion software for not preventing glitches and other irregularities from occurring in voting machines. Dominion also bought Sequoia Voting Systems in 2010, which raised questions due to accusations that the latter was involved in rigging the 2004 Venezuelan elections.

STOP THE STEAL Cartoons






 

Giuliani: Suits filed, President Trump to win Mich. and Pa.


OAN Newsroom
UPDATED 8:00 PM PT – Wednesday, November 11, 2020

President Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, said shocking evidence of national voter-fraud will be released.

In a tweet Wednesday, Giuliani said the Trump campaign has filed lawsuits to invalidate hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

The latest lawsuit was filed with the Western District of Michigan. Giuliani added the affidavits from both suits will be published Thursday.

The President’s attorney said his team has collected the most shocking fraud evidence from Detroit, Milwaukee and Philadelphia.

“Not that Pennsylvania won’t try to cheat, Gov. Wolf will cheat… but we’ll be in every court possible because we’re not gonna let the Democrats steal Pennsylvania,” the former New York City mayor stated. “This is the Republican Party and a President who fights for you because they [Democrats] wanna take your vote away.”

Giuliani added that submitted evidence of fraud makes for a very strong case, which means President Trump could win both Michigan and Pennsylvania.


 

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler to Newsmax TV: Legal Voters Losing Power of Their Votes


Those who diminish the scope of voter fraud in Pennsylvania are missing the point, according to Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., on Newsmax TV, because all legal voters are losing the power of their vote.

"As soon as one illegal vote is counted, or as soon as one dead person is allowed to a cast a vote — which we also know is happening — than it, by definition, dilutes legal votes and dilutes the power of the legal voter that's voting legally," Reschenthaler told Wednesday's "Stinchfield."

"Clearly there is evidence of fraud; this should be treated seriously," he added to host Grant Stinchfield.

It is not just the legal voters being disenfranchised either, Reschenthaler said, because the Pennsylvania state legislature was unconstitutionally "usurped" by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court exceeding its authority in permitting the 72-hour ballot extension in the state.

"The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has usurped the power of the general assembly," he said. "The U.S. Constitution says it's the legislators that decide how they select the electors.

"That's one, unconstitutional; two, it gives Democrat operatives a chance to engage in fraud. And our system is rife with fraud."

The entire vote in Pennsylvania is now suspect, according to Reschenthaler, because of the reported commingling of illegal ballots counted that were received after 8 p.m. Nov. 3 with the legal ones received before.

"Good luck figuring out which ballots came in on Election Night and which ones came in after," Reschenthaler concluded.

"It's going to be very hard to distinguish ones that are legal with one that are illegal."

The U.S. Supreme Court has a referral on that from Justice Samuel Alito, but Trump campaign lawyers have told Newsmax TV the nation's highest court is "holding" in weighing in on that legal challenge until the Trump team builds its entire case that can be "outcome determinative" in the presidential election, according to attorney Jordan Sekulow.

 

 

 

Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan told Newsmax TV on Wednesday that one of his staffers received her absentee ballot in the mail and those of four others, evidence that he said indicates that the likelihood of election fraud is undeniable.

 

''We have a young lady who works for us, works for our personal office (and) also works for the committee, and she got her ballot mailed to her and four other ballots arrived at the apartment of people who no longer lived, or maybe never lived there. We don’t know,'' the 56-year-old Jordan said on ''Greg Kelly Reports.'' ''So, that is the danger when you just blanket out live ballots. You just throw them out there. That is the recipe for mischief. A recipe for problems.''

Jordan said Republicans on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, of which he is the ranking member, issued a report in September predicting that widespread absentee voting, including nine states where officials instituted universal absentee voting —meaning every voter received a ballot in the mail whether or not it was requested — would cause chaos.

''We said all this stuff was going to happen,'' said Jordan, who received nearly 70% of the vote a week ago and was elected to an eighth term in the House of Representatives from Ohio’s 4th Congressional District north and west of Columbus and Cleveland. ''There’s going to be chaos and confusion, which I believe was exactly what the Democrats wanted.

''They knew President [Donald] Trump was going to win on Election Night. But they wanted to keep looking for and finding and counting ballots until they got over the top. And that’s what we’ve seen play out. That’s why we want to investigate it until we declare a winner.''


Trump Endorses McDaniel to Remain RNC Chair

President Donald Trump on Wednesday endorsed Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel to stay on in her position, in what one source said could be a prelude to Trump's announcing plans to run for president in 2024.

Normally, a president who loses an election does not influence whom the RNC picks as its next leader. Trump is contesting the results of the Nov. 3 election that was won by Democrat Joe Biden.

"I am pleased to announce that I have given my full support and endorsement to Ronna McDaniel to continue heading the Republican National Committee (RNC). With 72 MILLION votes, we received more votes than any sitting President in U.S. history - and we will win!" Trump said in a tweet.

Biden won the race with more than 77 million votes, though a team of Trump lawyers has been contesting results across multiple battleground states.

Trump backed McDaniel for RNC chair in 2017 after she helped deliver her home state of Michigan in the 2016 presidential election in which he defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.

A source familiar with internal discussions said Trump was telling allies he planned to run for president in 2024 and could announce it by the end of the year.

The U.S. Constitution allows presidents to serve two four-year terms and they do not have to be consecutive.

A long list of Republicans are said to be considering a run for the 2024 presidential election, including Trump's own vice president, Mike Pence.

U.S. news media have called the 2020 race for Biden, but Trump is contesting the results in a series of legal challenges in a handful of battleground states - in an attempt to back his claims of widespread voting fraud and irregularities.

Members of the RNC are due to meet late in January to vote on whether to keep McDaniel as chair. The vote will be a test of how powerful Trump remains in the party after he leaves office in January, should the legal challenges fail.
