It was pretty good.
If you haven’t checked it out yet — you should.
In a rare move, Twitter decided to fact check Donald Trump for his disinformation and deceptions, that he has been using their social media platform, to spread.
Like Twitter was just his manure truck, and he was Farmer John, just planting his conspiracies as far as the gullible can see.

Here is just some of what you missed, in Twitter’s epic fact check of Johnny Crapple-seed … the topic to be corrected: The so-called “dangers” of Vote-by-Mail:
Trump makes unsubstantiated claim that mail-in ballots will lead to voter fraud
On Tuesday, President Trump made a series of claims about potential voter fraud after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced an effort to expand mail-in voting in California during the COVID-19 pandemic. These claims are unsubstantiated, according to CNN, Washington Post and others. Experts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud.
What you need to know
• Trump falsely claimed that mail-in ballots would lead to "a Rigged Election." However, fact-checkers say there is no evidence that mail-in ballots are linked to voter fraud.
• Trump falsely claimed that California will send mail-in ballots to "anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there." In fact, only registered voters will receive ballots.
• Five states already vote entirely by mail and all states offer some form of mail-in absentee voting, according to NBC News.
Here's the real reason Donald Trump is attacking mail-in ballots | Analysis by CNN's Chris Cillizza https://cnn.it/3enGE2e
"[T]he sort of widespread election fraud that Trump is talking about is incredibly rare. In fact, there's just no significant evidence of intentional voter fraud on anything near the scale Trump and his allies allege."

1. Mail voting fraud is extremely rare, and some experts consider it to be safer than in-person voting because paper ballots can't be hacked.
2. Most studies find that voting by mail doesn't help one party over another.
3. President Trump voted by mail in the Florida primary.
Oregon has been voting *entirely* by mail since 1998. Gov. Kate Brown said it makes her blood boil to hear Trump’s fearmongering about fraud as it is “virtually nonexistent.”
“He doesn’t know what he’s talking about." https://huffpost.com/entry/oregon-g
The president keeps escalating his false claims about mail in voting. What evidence is there that “mail boxes will be robbed?” What does that even mean? And ballots are being sent to registered voters, not “anyone living in the state.”
California is not mailing a ballot to "anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there." The state is sending ballots to voters who are registered in California: https://gov.ca.gov/2020/05/08/gov
Trump has repeatedly lied that illegal immigrants are voting en masse in CA. Now falsely saying CA is sending ballots to "anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there." Sure doesn't seem like accidentally loose language.

That is, if they keep standing up for actual … you know, Facts.
