Twitter will not censor viral posts perpetuating conspiracy theories of President Donald Trump trying to steal the election through the Post Office.
Twitter said Wednesday it would refuse to censor or give a misinformation label to a series of viral tweets perpetuating conspiracy theories about President Donald Trump trying to steal the election by cutting access to the United States Postal Service (USPS).
The tweets, Twitter told National Review, did not violate the platform’s updated civic integrity policy, which the company used to fact-check Trump for the first time in May on a pair of posts raising valid concerns over nationwide mail-in voting.
The series of online conspiracies featuring locked mailboxes circulating the website accuse Trump of manipulating the Postal Service to ensure re-election. They went viral following the president’s explanation last week to refuse additional funding for the financially strained agency. Trump said his opposition to more spending on the nation’s mail service was so states “can’t have universal mail-in voting” to conduct their elections when only few states already possess the proper infrastructure to protect the integrity of the ballot box.
Several widely debunked posts accusing Trump of manipulating the postal service then began flourishing on Twitter, even drawing the endorsement from high-profile Democrats.
One post that garnered more than 25,000 retweets shows locked mailboxes and another featuring piled up mailboxes has more than 82,000.

The truth is that there is probably not a single Twitter user whose vote could be swayed by anything on the platform.
We need federal legislation outlining a US wide system that applies to all states to use for federal elections. Specifying election period ballot casting dates, who can vote, required citizenship documentation, and local precinct residency voter registration verification. Performed by a canvassing residency confirmation team. And No provisional, mail in, or same-day ballot issuance permitted. .
When is someone going to do something about this uneven censorship???
I have never gotten one in any previous election.
Item 1 says: "I am requesting, in good faith, an absentee ballot due to (check one reason:)
Temporary illness or physical disability
or risk of contracting or spreading a disease.
And it is not party blind...The Board will list your party on the application.
I'm livid.
I’m of the mind that no one should be allowed to mail in vote unless they are military or have a medical condition that prevents them. Even provide early voting if it helps them. I don’t think it was the intention of the founders of any republic or constitutional form of government (Canada, UK) to make voting EASY. I almost would argue only property owners can vote, or now allowing welfare recipients from voting.
