The Dems have been very dignified. Heck if they took him up on the offer to "stop the vote" they would have won already. If they could take him up on the offer that is. But that, much like Trump's take on almost everything in the universe, is a fantasy.
I don’t think it matters if there’s a recount or 10 - whatever doesn’t go his way is fake / stolen - all that matters is the narrative.

Did you only read the tweet or did you read the article as well?
Sub only.

Mail in ballots will have a higher rejection rate, this is because signatures have to match, unlike in person voting, the person used the wrong pen color and mails it in it's not counted. The article then refers to this rejection rate being 2%. Rejection rate =/= fraud. Do you understand this difference?
So you're saying that they used a misleading headline?

Im sure the US has similar controls.
Nah, anyone can just walk in and vote. The world's oldest democracy has no safeguards. I printed 10 GA ballots and mailed it in and went in person at 6 different locations and went back to the first one wearing a different hat. All of them counted.

Twitter can't ban him while he's president?

I guess they can but won't. For now.

In January, Twitter published a blog post publicly codifying what had already been company policy, saying that “Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets would hide important information people should be able to see and debate.”

I would say sensationalist but not misleading. 2% of ballots getting rejected is a big issue, you see how close this race was? That's why we were encouraged to vote early, so that any issues could be resolved before election day.

The left was ESPECIALLY worried about signature mis-matches.

Well of course we know that by now.
Heard about thunder and lightning? Trump is poep and flashing. It mostly stinks, and much of what he exposes is of questionable legality.
His predecessors were not even allowed their own private, non secret service-issued, phones. Forget about tweeting from the can at Mar a Lago.

Okay, so it's no big deal to be sensationalist in 2012, but a major deal to be sensationalist in 2020. Do I have that right?

And given how close these races have been, it seems you only need a few thousand fraudulent votes at most to swing a tight election.

So Biden will be up by 100k votes at least in PA. He's up 100k in MI. So we don't even have to fake ballots in AZ, GA, NV etc. But overall, he is up 400k in all these states.

If you use someone's vote without them knowing and they go in, they will be notified they voted already. The same mechanism stops me from voting twice either in person or by mail (not that I could get a 2nd ballot) or a combo of the two. Given all the info I have given you, how do you fake 400k votes?

I see the right screaming about fraud, and showing grainy videos of news camera men putting their equipment inside their vans by polling stations as proof there's fraud but this underlies the actual mechanic: how, if the camera equipment was actually a ton of ballots, can you fake the votes, without having 400k people notified?

Kinda weird when you think about it, seeing as world leaders are influential people they would be held to higher standards. At the same time, as a business they wouldn't want the noise and problems it would bring if you ever deleted one of their tweets.

Not really sure what any of this has to do with the double standard I originally pointed out.

Yes, I can see how a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, malevolent bully can annoy you.

You are astute to realize that I am talking about Greta and not Trump. Also, it is clear that you are obviously not a trump fan as I understand from your posts. Like no one is apparently.
No idea what you're trying to say now lol. How did we get from annoying teenage Greta to Trump?

Also I am not a Trump fan but I am a supporter. There's a huge difference. Just like I'm not a fan of any SA politician but I vote for the one I support.

You missing the most obvious point though: Trump is good for Twitter because TDS sufferers spend all the time monitoring his Tweets and getting outraged. Longer time on platform, the greater the ad revenue!

I'm pretty sure there are right wing people who work in the supply chain industry who just don't buy the election fraud angle at all.

Anyone who thinks getting 400k+ votes counted, without notifying the actual voters, having multiple different states who work independently, the USPS workers from all over the country, all work in a grand conspiracy to fake votes and we haven't heard a peep from any of them, hasn't worked as a project manager. You can't coordinate 5 people, let alone millions into this grand conspiracy.

Maybe, just maybe, the President that you know is unpopular with a significant portion of the country, just lost. ;)
