Social and Mainstream Media Refuse to Investigate Voter Fraud
By Worthy News Election Team George Whitten and Stefan J. Bos
(Worthy News) – Most social and mainstream media seemed unwilling Thursday to seriously investigate allegations of voter fraud, with outlets saying that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was on a path to victory.
Broadcasters ABC, CBS and NBC even cut away from President Donald J. Trump on Thursday as he spoke from the White House to make what they called an “unfounded accusation” that the presidential election was being stolen from him.
Twitter labeled many of President Donald J. Trump’s messages related to fraud as “misleading.”
Since Election Day, the social networking site limited the visibility of a third of Trump’s ‘tweets’ and retweets.
President Trump turned to Twitter throughout the day on Thursday to claim that the election was being illegally stolen from him.
Separately Facebook Thursday shut down a group that claimed Democrats were trying to “steal” the 2020 presidential election. The social media giant said the page “delegitimized” the vote-counting process.
PLANNING RALLIES
The “Stop the Steal” group had gained more than 360,000 members in its two-day existence — and was planning rallies to challenge election results.
“In line with the exceptional measures that we are taking during this period of heightened tension, we have removed the Group ‘Stop the Steal, ’ which was creating real-world events,” Facebook said in a statement.
“The group was organized around the delegitimization of the election process, and we saw worrying calls for violence from members of the group.”
That reportedly came after roughly 200 Trump’s supporters, some armed with rifles gathered outside an election office in Phoenix, Arizona.
It was unclear what, if any, links they had to the Facebook group.
EXPRESSING CONCERNS
Protestors expressed concern that officials would halt the counting of votes at night, a move that they said could lead to fraud.
Elsewhere Conservative advocacy groups Tea Party Patriots Action and FreedomWorks were dispatching their activists in crucial battleground states to “protect the vote.”
Tea Party Patriots Action was reportedly marshaling its supporters to rallies in Phoenix, Arizona; Atlanta, Georgia; Detroit, Michigan; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Tea Party Patriots’ Jenny Beth Martin told The Washington Times newspaper that her group’s supporters would voice support for “transparent and honest ballot counting.”
They gathered while the Trump campaign intensified its legal efforts across battleground states to challenge alleged irregularities.
CORPSE VOTING
Trump officials have cited possible ‘voting’ by dead people and doctored in-mail ballots as alleged wrongdoing examples.
On Thursday, the Trump team won a ruling related to allowing election observers at the Pennsylvania vote-count.
It also legally challenged reported losses in Michigan and Georgia, claiming it would file a lawsuit over alleged irregularities in Nevada.
The Wall Street Journal newspaper commented that “Taken together, the lawsuits amounted to an aggressive effort” to highlight “alleged anomalies or other perceived problems that could affect vote counts before a final presidential winner is declared.”
CHARGES UNFOUNDED?
Several mainstream media outlets monitored by Worthy News called the accusations “unfounded” despite at least some signs to the contrary.
—Investigators of Judicial Watch, a conservative “non-partisan foundation” promoting transparency, found that Clark County, Nevada, had “a 102.7 percent voter registration rate”. It meant that “more voters were registered there than eligible to vote.”
—In Georgia, Democrats prepared to “cure” ballots with training sessions for Biden supporters. It wasn’t clear what curing ballots meant, but Trump campaigners expressed concerns about the reported massive printing of ballot papers and stuffing of ballot boxes.
”Join us today for virtual training to learn how to knock on doors to help voters cure their ballots. We need you in this fight with us today and tomorrow and Friday” Georgia Democrats wrote on their website.
President Trump was to speak at the White House on Thursday about what is one of the most turbulent elections in generations.
Official results so far showed Trump 56 and Biden 6 votes short of the 270 Electoral College votes needed to claim the next presidency.
