...Actually the Fed can heavily regulate Twitter and can in fact shut Twitter down as well.

Truth!

The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.

Yup, just like a bakery can turn down making gay cakes. Trump, the idiot, agreed to a TOS. They update their TOS often and you agree to them to be able to continue to use Twitter. He MUST follow the TOS and has no recourse. Twitter's states:

1. You may use the Services only if you agree to form a binding contract with Twitter

2. We may suspend or terminate your account or cease providing you with all or part of the Services at any time for any or no reason.

3. You are responsible for your use of the Services and for any Content you provide, including compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

4. You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. We consider abusive behavior an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else's voice. (Trump does this on a daily basis. He should have been banned long ago).

Everyone should report his tweets about Joe Scarborough. It's targeted harassment.

They should call his bluff and suspend his account. They would for anyone else who spread crap like that.

He's going to shut twitter down? Joke! He loses his platform! God what a moron, and not just him, his believers.

How can anybody respect that tool? He's a lying odious idiot.

Twitter must have "fact checked" him previously? And, as hap stated, he's openly harassed American citizens!

Now is certainly the time for twitter to take action with an election coming. The orange $hit for brains is going to lie with greater frequency and audacity as his stinky world closes in around him.

Here are 15 instances in which courts threw out an election result based in whole or in part on absentee voting fraud.

In one of the most high profile cases, the North Carolina Board of Elections decertified the outcome of the 2018 race in the 9th Congressional District and ordered a new election after evidence of absentee ballot fraud emerged. About 61% of all mailed votes were cast for Republican candidate Mark Harris over Democrat Dan McReady, although only 16% of those requesting a ballot were Republicans. In the new election, Republican Dan Bishop stepped in as the party nominee and won.
In 2018, Dennis Jones beat Tracy Gray by one vote in a Republican primary in Texas for a seat on the Kaufman County Commissioners Court. Gray challenged the outcome, alleging a vote harvester submitted illegal mail-in ballots, while eligible provisional ballots went uncounted. After a hearing, a state judge invalidated the results and ordered a new election, which Gray won by 404 votes.
In another 2018 Texas case, Armando O'Cana seemingly won a run-off race for mayor in Mission, Texas, beating incumbent Norberto "Beto" Salinas. But after strong evidence emerged that O'Cana's campaign had bribed voters, tampered with absentee ballots, and improperly "assisted" voters at the polls, state Judge J. Bonner Dorsey invalidated the result, saying: "I hold or find, by clear and convincing evidence, that the number of illegal votes was in excess of 158."
In 2017, Eatonville, Florida Mayor Anthony Grant was convicted of a felony charge of voting fraud and misdemeanor absentee voting violations. Prosecutors said that as a candidate in 2015, Grant coerced absentee voters to cast ballots for him. In at least one case, prosecutors said, Grant personally solicited an absentee vote from a nonresident. Grant, a former mayor, lost the in-person vote but won the election with more than twice the number of absentee ballots that incumbent Bruce Mount got. After Grant's indictment, then-Gov. Rick Scott suspended the mayor. After his conviction, he was sentenced to 400 hours of community service and four years' probation.
This case was more than a decade after the Florida Department of Law Enforcement concluded: "The absentee ballot is the 'tool of choice' for those who are engaging in election fraud."

This 1998 report came after the department concluded an investigation of Miami's mayoral election the year before. A judge had thrown out the result after prosecutors brought a massive fraud case that involved more than 5,000 absentee ballots.

In 2017, an Alabama state judge reversed the result of a race for Wetumpka City Council in which incumbent Percy Gill appeared to have won by three votes. Gill's opponent, Lewis Washington, contested the outcome. A trial showed eight absentee ballots cast for Gill either had a forged signature or weren't notarized or signed in front of the requisite number of witnesses.
In the 2016 race for mayor of Gordon, Alabama, Elbert Melton won by just 16 votes. Melton later was convicted on two counts of absentee ballot fraud and removed from office. He was sentenced to a year in prison and two years' probation.
In 2016, Missouri state Rep. Penny Hubbard won the 2016 Democratic primary in the state's 78th House District by just 90 votes. Her opponent, Bruce Franks Jr., contested the outcome over a lopsided absentee vote tally. Judge Rex Burlison ruled that enough improper absentee ballots were cast to change the results and ordered a new election. Franks won by 1,533 votes.
In 2016 in Texas, former Weslaco city commissioner Guadalupe Rivera pleaded guilty to one count of providing illegal "assistance" to a voter in a 2013 race he won by 16 votes. Rivera admitted filling out an absentee ballot "in a way other than the way the voter directed or without direction from the voter." A judge determined that 30 ballots were cast illegally and ordered a new election, which Rivera lost. He initially faced 16 related charges, but 15 were dropped as part of a plea deal. He was sentenced to a year of probation and ordered to pay a $500 fine.
In 2015, Fernando Gonzalez clinched a win by 10 votes over Sergio Dias for a seat on the city council of Perth Amboy, New Jersey. After a determination that at least 13 absentee ballots were cast illegally, a state Superior Court overturned the results and ordered a new election. The second time, Gonzalez won by nine votes.
New York State Assembly candidate Hector Ramirez pleaded guilty to one count of criminal possession of a forged instrument during his 2014 campaign. Prosecutors charged Ramirez with deceiving voters into giving their absentee ballots to his campaign on the false premise that it would submit them. Instead, Ramirez's campaign inserted his name on at least 35 absentee ballots, prosecutors said. Ramirez initially won, but a recount determined that he lost by two votes. Bronx Supreme Court Justice Steven Barrett ruled that Ramirez could not run for office again for three years.
In 2014 in Pennsylvania, Richard Allen Toney, the former police chief of Harmar Township, pleaded guilty to illegally soliciting absentee ballots to benefit his wife and her running mate in the 2009 Democratic primary for town council. Prosecutors said Toney applied for the ballots, then had them filled out illegally by individuals who were not expected to be absent on Election Day. The absentee ballot count flipped the primary results, securing a victory for his wife's running mate. During a subsequent FBI investigation, prosecutors said, Toney attempted to prevent two grand jury witnesses and others from testifying. He was sentenced to three years' probation.
After a 2012 federal investigation of a voter fraud conspiracy in West Virginia, Lincoln County Sheriff Jerry Bowman and County Clerk Donald Whitten pleaded guilty to stuffing ballot boxes and falsifying absentee ballots to try to steal a Democratic primary election in 2010. Lincoln County Commissioner Thomas Ramey pleaded guilty to lying to investigators. Bowman and Ramey were involved in helping Whitten get re-elected. He won the primary but a judge overturned the election, tossing out 300 fraudulent ballots.
One of the more complex cases arose in a rural jurisdiction when the Justice Department brought a civil suit against Noxubee County, Mississippi over a massive absentee voter fraud operation run by the local Democratic Party machine. Prosecutors said notaries paid by the machine took ballots from mail boxes and voted the ballots in place of the intended voters.
On June 29, 2007, U.S. District Judge Tom S. Lee issued an opinion finding that county Democratic Party Chairman Ike Brown worked with the county's Democratic Executive Committee to manipulate the process. Lee determined that Brown violated Section Two of the Voting Rights Act through racially motivated manipulation of ballots, obtained and improperly counted defective absentee ballots, and allowed improper "assistance" of voters to ensure that his favored candidates won.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment. The Justice Department entered into a consent decree with Noxubee County's superintendent of general elections, administrator of absentee ballots, registrar, and county government to prohibit discriminatory and illegal voting practices and require officials to report such incidents.

"Dozens of contests were overturned there by the state courts," said Adams, who was involved in the case as a Justice Department civil rights lawyer at the time.

In 2004, the Alabama Supreme Court overturned the results of a mayor's race in Guntersville after finding that absentee ballots were cast without proper identification and should have been discarded.
In the 2003 mayor's race in East Chicago, Indiana, challenger George Pabey defeated eight-term incumbent Robert Patrick on Election Day, but lost by 278 votes after about 2,000 absentee ballots poured in.
Evidence of voter intimidation and vote buying emerged and the Indiana Supreme Court ordered a new election. Pabey won with 65% of the vote, as detailed in the 2008 book "Stealing Elections" by journalist John Fund. The fraud led to at least seven convictions or guilty pleas in 2008, according to the Heritage database.

Wants everyone voting on Ivanka's Chinese machines.

Seriously, any evidence that fraud occurs more often with mail in ballots vs. these easily hacked electronic systems?

Once Twitter is gone, Trump will start his own social media platform. Since he kinda likes to toot his own horn, he could call it "Tooter".
