Twitter adds a warning stamp to President Trump’s tweet. Reporting from CNN and the Washington Post was a part of the “foundation” for that warning stamp. Meanwhile, lots of propaganda tweets by leftists, and those like members of the Chinese Communist Party, await similar “check this tweet’s facts” stamp. (Fox News)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

President Trump accurately pointed out the vulnerability that mail-in ballots have to election cheating. People could “harvest ballots”, enter a vote for someone not authorized to vote, vote for someone that’s no longer alive, etc. There have even been reports of actual mistakes or fraud involved with absentee ballot applications and absentee voting.<\/p>\n

What was Twitter’s reaction to President Trump’s tweet regarding the potential to cheat with mail-in balloting? A warning tag claiming that CNN, the Washington Post, and others have indicated that this wasn’t the case.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n

…Trump tweeted: “There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one. That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote. This will be a Rigged Election. No way!”<\/p>\n

Within hours, Twitter then appended a label to the bottom of the tweet reading, “Get the facts about mail-in ballots.”<\/p>\n

Clicking that label brought readers to a paragraph reading: “On Tuesday, President Trump made a series of claims about potential voter fraud after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced an effort to expand mail-in voting in California during the COVID-19 pandemic. These claims are unsubstantiated, according to CNN, Washington Post and others. Experts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud.”<\/p>\n

Twitter went on to note in a “What to Know” section that “fact-checkers say there is no evidence that mail-in ballots are linked to voter fraud”…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
