Trump threatens to 'close' down social media platforms

Your argument seems to be that substandard fact checkers exist, so all fact checkers are substandard. I don’t see how it follows. In this case, it’s extremely well documented (and there is bipartisan agreement) that mail in ballots are not a substantial source of fraud.

States that allow no excuse mail in ballots are evenly split between red and blue.

Do you have a specific critique of statements Twitter made in this case?

Let's not play coy with this false discussion about mail-in ballots. We both know that's not what this is about.

Twitter does not fact-check Democrats. The end.

Twitter also doesn't fact check Republicans. It fact checks exactly one person, known for spreading misinformation.

I don't use Twitter, so I couldn't point out a specific tweet. But offhand, let's say any tweet accusing the Trump campaign of collusion with Russia. I'm sure there are hundreds.
