Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s political campaign has asked social media giants Facebook and Twitter to remove posts by Republican President Donald Trump on Monday that it said made false claims aimed at discrediting mail-in voting.
Trump tweeted several times on Monday criticizing vote-by-mail plans that numerous states have implemented so that voters concerned about the coronavirus infection can submit their ballots from home.
“If people can go out and protest, riot, break into stores and create all sorts of havoc, they can also go out and VOTE - and keep our Election Honest,” Trump wrote. “With millions of mail-in ballots being sent out, who knows where they are going, and to whom?”
Trump, who himself has submitted absentee ballots through the mail, has for weeks stoked fears among his supporters that Democrats will abuse the vote-by-mail process in November’s election.
“Voter rolls are notorious for including people who no longer live at the address on file, or are even deceased,” Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said in response to the Biden camp’s claim. “It is a wide open invitation for fraud and an undermining of election integrity.”

By all means, let's all squelch dissenting opinions. The reason the Biden campaign (and liberals generally) want these tweets removed is not because they are necessarily wrong, but because they have nothing to say in reply. Intellectual poverty is a sorry basis on which to make policy
Amen to that! Let's do it today rather than tomorrow!
A Republican Senate, a Republican House, and a Trump win will put an end to all the hate, Division, violence, and chaos caused be the Democrat Party. Democrats fear voter ID because they know they will never again win a majority or the presidency.
Amen to that! With Republicans taking over the House and maintaining the Senate & Presidency, hate, division, vioence and chaos will sure disappear again just like it did during the first two years of Trump's first term.
Anything but VOTER ID and the path is open to voter fraud.
After the election Trump will eliminate all opposition to him and assume total authority over the country. He has already accomplished so much in short 3 1/2 years while fighting opposition from many corners of the US. When he doesn't have to fight any opposition anymore, he can focus on what he does best: Make America Great Again!!!!!
BEDIN isn't that then fairytale hermit of folklore?
Americans (that leaves-out the extreme leftist demoncrats and suck-ups like bite-me biden): bite-me is just the obsequious, lie-ing, led-by-the-nose, no personal values, money-grubbing non-entity using his "positions", puppeted by leftists worm. bite-me can only "bash" [against Trump of course]. bite-me is totally INcapable of anything "constructive" or original. bite-me is only fed and spews hate and discontent. AND, should be indicted and punished for Ukraine.
Watch what happens if one puts this up on FB ......
We've gone down this road before. We had this birth certificate and TWO (2) versions of a long-form birth certificate from Hawaii. I spent a great deal of time analyzing the latter two and showing all the inconsistencies between them. It gained little traction but was alive until Trump, the leading politician raising the issue, stated that he was satisfied Obama was born in Hawaii. I still believe he was wrong but that put an end to it.
