The freedom of speech in the 1st Amendment to the constitution says that, there shouldn’t even be a poll to decide whether someone should be free to express his opinions.

The First Amendment does not require that people be provided a platform from which to express their opinions.

Shouldn’t they have to recount, or wait till all the votes are in after the polls close?

Haven't you heard? We no longer live under Constitutional law. In today's world, the inmates are in charge of the asylum. Those who win food fights are considered champions.

That’s a hint of the Dems’ “democracy.” They would say no one not up in the popularity regions would have any rights at all.

A mouthy, arrogant student at the library complained we had the journal Church and State. She asked does that mean it supports the existence of churches to be allowed? I said it just discusses the two sides of arguments in a scholarly way. She said it should be banned along with any publication allowing for churches.

So all the voters her age, now in their 30s, would punish religions because they personally disagree. Democracy.

1A only applies to government action. Since Twitter is a private entity it's free to censor whatever speech it wants. I'm not saying that it should, only that it can.

The 1st Amendment doesn’t apply to businesses.

Call your boss a dickhead tomorrow and claim free speech.
Let us know how that goes.
