When Democrats Turn Out

Hi there,

Twitter is finally calling Donald Trump out on his lies about vote-by-mail.

According to a Twitter spokesperson, Trump’s tweets about voter fraud conspiracy theories “contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and have been labeled to provide additional context around mail-in ballots.” Take a look:

A tweet from @realDonaldTrump reads "There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mailboxes 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..." Below Trump's tweet, Twitter has inserted a clickable message written in blue next to an exclamation point that reads "Get the facts about mail-in ballots"

Anyone who clicks “Get the facts about mail-in ballots” is taken to a list of reasons why Trump’s claim is false: like the fact that California is only sending ballots to registered voters, just like several other states -- and that there’s no link between vote-by-mail and voter fraud.

But while Twitter can call out Trump on his lies, they can’t stop him from destroying vote-by-mail. That’s exactly what Trump is doing now -- by appointing a top donor and loyalist to head USPS and starving the agency of relief funding. Trump knows if the USPS goes under, so does vote-by-mail. Twitter is checking the president online -- but it’s up to us to check his agenda in real life. Tell us now:
