RT @charlesornstein: Facebook says it cares about election misinformation, but actions speak louder than words. https://t.co/ut92KicWcf — PolitiTweet.org

10. In response to this story, Facebook sent Popular Information the following statement. "After an initial investigation, we found there’s enough evidence to merit a deeper review. While that's ongoing, we're taking enforcement action against the Pages posting this content" — PolitiTweet.org

9. None of the 48 posts of this California ballot story had the informational label attached. After Popular Information sent Facebook 8 examples, Facebook attached the label to those 8 posts. The other 40 posts still don't have a label https://t.co/qxMEecjW5B — PolitiTweet.org

8. A few days ago, Zuckerberg pledged Facebook would "attach an informational label to content that seeks to delegitimize the outcome...for example, by claiming that lawful methods of voting will lead to fraud." https://t.co/qxMEecjW5B — PolitiTweet.org

7. Facebook is a $780 billion company and its says that preventing disinformation about voting is a priority but it is unable to root out a network like this. My newsletter, Popular Information, is doing the work. Sign up --> https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

6. The Conservative Brief story was then shared 48 TIMES across a network of 20 PAGES with the text: "Dems CAUGHT — 100,000 Illegal Ballots Found." Overall, this false piece has been shared more than 100,000 times on Facebook. https://t.co/qxMEecjW5B https://t.co/dREsFfCkDy — PolitiTweet.org

5. This report was then aggregated on the Conservative Brief on July 14. Author Martin Walsh wrote that the story "lends credence" to Trump's claim that mail-in voting "can pave the way for mass fraud." There is no basis for this claim. https://t.co/qxMEecjW5B — PolitiTweet.org

4. Here is how it works. On July 13, the AP reported that California had rejected about 100K absentee ballots submitted in the March presidential primary — about 1.5% of the total. Most of these ballots, 70,330, were rejected because they arrived late. https://t.co/qxMEecjW5B — PolitiTweet.org

3. Over the last 90 days, the network of pages that promote Conservative Brief has generated 30.65 million engagements. That's more engagement than the main New York Times Facebook page generated over the same period of time (26.48 million). https://t.co/qxMEecjW5B — PolitiTweet.org

2. The network operates by funneling traffic to Conservative Brief, an obscure right-wing website. Conservatives Brief distorts reports from mainstream sources to sow doubt about the legitimacy of the upcoming election. https://t.co/qxMEecjW5B — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. Facebook has permitted a large network of Facebook pages and groups — with names like Trump's Deplorable Army, To The Death Media, and One Angry Conservative — to spread disinformation about voting in the 2020 election to millions of people. https://t.co/qxMEecjW5B — PolitiTweet.org

A few minutes ago Trump admitted he PURPOSELY MISLED THE PUBLIC about the DANGERS OF A DEADLY PANDEMIC that HAS ALREADY KILLED NEARLY 200,000 AMERICANS. Every American needs to see this. It's not fake news. It's Trump talking. Just watch. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is more than incompetent. He knew what he was telling the American people about COVID-19 was a lie. He did it anyway. Many thousands of people would be alive today if Trump told the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

7. Georgia's election system completely melted down during the June primary. It was in no small part due to decisions made by the Secretary of State. He's now blaming voters for the result of chaos that he created. https://t.co/pls2AzGcaC — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. Most of the coverage just took the Secretary of State at his word, amplifying his attempt at voter intimidation. For in-depth accountability journalism, check out my newsletter, Popular Information. Sign up here --> https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

5. Fraud requires an element called "scienter." Scienter is a legal term which means a party had knowledge of the wrongdoing. In other words, Georgia law only applies to someone who intentionally attempts to vote twice. https://t.co/pls2AzGcaC — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. So many, if not all of the people, who had their vote counted twice received incorrect or incomplete information from a poll worker. Could they still be charged with felony fraud? The Secretary of States says yes. He's wrong. https://t.co/pls2AzGcaC — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. If you are allowed to vote and your absentee ballot comes in later, it is not supposed to be counted. So if anyone had their vote counted twice it is a result of ERRORS BY ELECTION OFFICIALS OVERSEEN BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE https://t.co/pls2AzGcaC — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. First, you have to understand how voting works in Georgia. If you show up at a polling place and your absentee ballot is already been received, the poll worker is supposed to let you know and you aren't allowed to vote. https://t.co/pls2AzGcaC — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. Yesterday, Georgia's Secretary of State announced that 1K people voted twice & they would be prosecuted for felony crimes that carry a sentence of up to 10 years It's a pretty dramatic claim But when you examine it closely, it completely falls apart https://t.co/pls2AzGcaC — PolitiTweet.org

@steve_vladeck What do you think the odds are that a judge buys this argument? — PolitiTweet.org

@steve_vladeck Well that he was within the scope would be the taxpayer defense, no? — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
According to Bill Barr, when Trump said that E. Jean Carroll, who alleges she was raped by Trump in 1995, was "not my type" he was acting "within the scope" of his job as President and is therefore entitled to a taxpayer-funded defense of Carroll's defamation suit — PolitiTweet.org
