Been overdue for Twitter to do it.

But twitter decides to take this action six months prior to the November election. From six months shy of Donald Trump winning the 2016 election and this is the week Twitter decides to
fact check???
Why not worry about fact checking two or four years ago??
Could it be the upcoming election......are the liberals and Democrats are applying too much pressure?
Mail-in ballots are a legitimate policy dispute!
There are reasons every State doesn’t use mail-in ballots, there are reasons our Country refuses to fully use electronic voting......online voting......there are reasons why!
Just think of all the college students enrolled to vote in the state of their University, but are no longer living in that state because the Universities are closed and the students returned home. How do states know where to send those ballots?
In previous years when by bipartisan groups have been assembled to address these worries, it was the conclusion that absentee ballots posed the greatest threat for possible violations.
Then when you factor the possibility of the United States Postal Service going bankrupt this Summer......who would oversee the delivery of these ballots? Even if the USPS doesn’t go under, there are major delays and other legitimate reasons why mail-in ballots shouldn’t be considered!
So
President Trump weighs in on a policy issue:
“ Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that....
....happen again. Just like we can’t let large scale Mail-In Ballots take root in our Country. It would be a free for all on cheating, forgery and the theft of Ballots. Whoever cheated the most would win. Likewise, Social Media. Clean up your act, NOW!!!!“
Trump tweet
“.@Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election. They are saying my statement on Mail-In Ballots, which will lead to massive corruption and fraud, is incorrect, based on fact-checking by Fake News CNN and the Amazon Washington Post....“
TRUMP tweet
“ 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.....”
******notice how this tweet ends with a
CNN link******
Zuckerberg knocks Twitter for fact-checking Trump, says private companies shouldn't be 'the arbiter of truth'
Meanwhile In California

Texas Supreme Court: Lack of immunity to COVID-19 alone not enough to vote by mail
