Since the left-wing-aligned media were unwilling to do their jobs, it took an army of well-informed Trump supporters to educate Chelsea Clinton after CNN allowed her to share blatant misinformation/disinformation to the public.
As the coronavirus situation was just beginning to draw some serious media scrutinyPresident Trump has left the U.S. dangerously underprepared to face a public health crisis like a #coronavirus outbreak. @devisridhar and I explain how via @CNN https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/24/opinions/trump-us-coronavirus-prepared-clinton-sridhar/index.htmlFebruary 25, 2020

Lake County Supervisor of Elections Identifies Isolated Fraud Urges Voters to Check Their Voter File, Correspondence
March 4, 2020
TAVARES - Lake County Supervisor of Elections Alan Hays has determined that fraudulent Florida Voter Registration Application forms were submitted to his office and is advising voters to review their voter file, which is available on the Lake County election website, Lake County Supervisor of Elections > Voter Information > Look Up My Voter Information. The fraud appears to be the work of one person who submitted false and inaccurate voter registration information such as party registration, social security and driver’s license numbers, addresses, and other information.
“My office became aware of a potential problem last week when several voters contacted our office after receiving new Voter Information Cards indicating their party affiliation had been changed from Democrat to Republican,” Hays said. “Several of the voters told us that the only thing they had filled out was a Candidate Petition form, yet we received a Florida Voter Registration Application form with one or more inaccurate representations as well as what appears to be forged signatures.”
On Monday, Hays turned over information the elections office had found to the state attorney’s office for further investigation. Falsifying voter information is a criminal offense according to Florida law. Hays and the State Attorney have been in contact with the third-party voter registration organization that employed the person, and they are cooperating with the investigation.
“After looking at these initial complaints, our staff this weekend expanded their review to recently submitted voter change forms and began to narrow in on one individual, who appears to be the source of the false registrations,” Hays said. “We have 10 official complaints from voters whose voter information appears to have been tampered with and we have identified other suspect cases, including a handful of party registration changes.”
“While the state attorney pursues the investigation, my focus is on the election and making sure every eligible voter can cast a ballot and have their vote counted,” Hays said. “I’m pleased to say that the process is working as it should.”
When information was submitted that contradicted other information in the system, the Supervisor of Elections office sent a letter to the voter advising them that there was unverified information on an application and requesting the voter contact the elections office.
The most significant impact of these false registrations is that previously registered Democratic voters may have unknowingly had their voter registration changed to Republican. Until this fraud was detected on Friday, the SOE office would have processed the change as usual - by issuing a new voter registration card with updated information, and that’s why Hays is asking voters to check for correspondence from his office or to check their voter file at Lake County Supervisor of Elections > Voter Information > Look Up My Voter Information. While some of these changes may have been correct, others may be due to falsified information.
If a voter finds that any information is inaccurate, or that changes were made to their voter registration that they did not authorize, he or she should contact the Lake County Supervisor of Elections office at 352-343-9734. It’s important to note that even if unauthorized changes were made to their file, voters will still be able to cast a provisional ballot and elections officials will ensure every eligible vote is counted. Poll workers have been carefully trained to handle this and other potential problems.
The primary election for both Republicans and Democrats is March 17. Early voting begins tomorrow, March 5. There are 11 early voting sites that will open tomorrow. For more information about the election, please go to Lake County Supervisor of Elections > Home.Comment

Re: Let the truth be known
Liberal journalists have belatedly realized that social media fact-checking can be used against them, and they're not happy about it. Not one bit. But it's hard to have sympathy for them when they finally taste their own medicine.
On Saturday, one of Facebook's independent fact-checkers, The Daily Caller, determined a Politico story to be untrue, leading to a "False Information" tag on the social media platform. Politicoechoed by 2020 Democrats.
Judd Legum, the founder of Think Progress and former campaign staffer for Hillary Clinton, complained about the Facebook fact-check on Twitter.
"Facebook made THE DAILY CALLER an official fact-checking partner. That gives The Daily Caller the ability to label anything posted on Facebook as 'false information' and dramatically reduce its distribution. It's now using that power to boost Trump," Legum tweeted.https://popular.info/p/the-daily-caller-uses-status-as-facebook pic.twitter.com/aDS4Ogpo1yMarch 3, 2020He argued that Politico's angle was correct.
Facebook Fact-Checkers Admit Trump Never Said Coronavirus Was 'a Hoax'
"The Daily Caller's fact check claims that Trump referred only to the Democrats' politicization of the coronavirus as a 'hoax' But that's not what Trump said," Legum claimed. "He said: 'This is their new hoax' The Daily Caller resolves that ambiguity in favor of Trump."
The Daily Caller explained that Trump "reiterates his administration is taking the threat of the coronavirus seriously," which he does in the speech. Legum claimed that Trump "minimizes the threat of the coronavirus." That is also true: the president sought to allay exaggerated fears about the virus, while at the same time insisting that his administration is taking it seriously. The two positions are not inherently contradictory.
Legum went on to complain that "The Daily Caller's fact check operation is funded by the Searle Freedom Trust, a major funder of organizations that push climate disinformation and other right-wing causes."
In other words, it's beyond the pale for Facebook to use The Daily Caller for fact-checks because this site is funded by a trust that promotes a narrative Legum vehemently disagrees with.
Mike Berry, head of audience at HuffPost, noted the harsh penalties and loss of traffic that come with a Facebook "false" fact-check marking.
"What's not mentioned here: When a FB-appointed fact-checker gives a 'false' or 'partially false' rating, it downranks ALL that publication's content on FB and can destroy a publication's FB referral for weeks. Facebook lets The Daily Caller choose which sites get FB traffic," Berry tweeted.What's not mentioned here: When a FB-appointed fact-checker gives a 'false' or 'partially false' rating, it downranks ALL that publication's content on FB and can destroy a publication's FB referral for weeks.This does indeed impact a website's traffic, although what Barry claims isn't entirely accurate. Only the post that has been flagged as false is downranked. All of a publication's content is only affected if the page repeatedly shares false information. If the publication corrects the false information, satisfying the fact-checker, then the penalty is lifted.

Regardless, this struggle is nothing new for conservatives. Social media companies, seeking to engage in fact-checking on their platforms, often turn to liberal-leaning outlets like PolitiFact and Lead Stories. (Facebook used to work with Snopes as well). Last July, PolitiFact ruled that a PJ Media article from Jim Treacher was "false." Treacher had claimed that the viral photos of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) weeping on the other side of a fence were not taken at a migrant facility but outside an empty parking lot. The article was rated "false" not because AOC was actually crying in front of migrants, but because the photos were taken by an empty road that led to a facility, not an empty parking lot as Treacher claimed.Comment

Re: Let the truth be known
The day after protesters rushed Joe Biden at a Super Tuesday rally, a top House Democrat isn't taking any chances.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, wrote a letter Wednesday to acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, urging him to offer Secret Service protection to the candidates seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.
"I write to urge you to immediately undertake the consultation process necessary to determine whether any Democratic candidates for President should be afforded protection by the United States Secret Service (USSS)," read the letter to Wolf.
"While the Guidelines indicate that a candidate must request protection from the Secretary and the USSS Director in order to begin the consultation and authorization process, the Guidelines also indicate that the absence of a request would not prevent the authorization of protection when warranted," the Mississippi Democrat added.
The letter came a day after two stormed the stageneeded Secret Service protectioncrossed behind the podium and intercepted a heckler, helping security remove the individual from the crowd.
The protesters were against the dairy industry. Anti-dairy protesters also interrupted a rally for Sanders last month.Comment
