Iowa Officials Coordinated With Big Tech to Censor Election Posts: Judicial Watch
Iowa State officials worked with Big Tech last year to censor posts related to the 2020 election, government watchdog group Judicial Watch announced on May 3.
Judicial Watch’s claim is based on the 624 pages of records it received from the office of the Secretary of State of Iowa as a result of a June 2020 open records lawsuit. Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit (pdf) because the Secretary of State’s office failed to provide records and communications relating to the state’s voter registration rolls as requested by Judicial Watch.
“These records are yet another example of state officials conspiring with Big Tech to deny Americans their First Amendment rights,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.
Judicial Watch released records on April 27 showing that the California secretary of state, the Biden campaign, and Big Tech coordinated to censor some social media posts about the 2020 election.
“These records further show that Big Tech censorship is a government scandal: Iowa government officials worked with Facebook to remove posts they didn’t like, and Facebook bowed to this political pressure immediately. It should be disturbing to all Americans that government officials are working to censor speech they disagree with and that these behemoth companies often seem willing to roll over and censor free speech,” Fitton said.
Kevin Hall, communications director for the Iowa secretary of state, emailed Facebook official Rachel Holland on Feb. 3, 2020, asking for help with a Judicial Watch post they deemed false, according to the records (pdf) released by Judicial Watch.
Holland responded within an hour that Facebook had “applied a filter over the content warning users before they click to see that the content has been rated false by independent fact-checkers.”
Holland responded that Facebook had “a full team with eyes on this now and are applying the false filter to similar articles as well.”
Hall also filed a report with Twitter to try to censor the same post. After Twitter declined to do so, Maria Benson, director of communications at the National Association of Secretaries of State, joined the effort and urged Kevin Kane from Twitter to take it down.
Kane declined the request again, saying the post “is not in violation of our election integrity policy as it does not suppress voter turnout or mislead people about when, where, or how to vote.”
Benson then emailed Brian Scully, an official at the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), asking him to report the issue to Twitter.
Scully promised to contact Twitter. “Sorry … been out of pocket a bit. Will reach out to Twitter. Let me know if you get something.”
The post that Hall aimed to take down was a statement made by Judicial Watch that eight Iowa counties had registration rates of more than 100 percent of the voting-age population, based on data provided by Iowa to the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC).
Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate and Judicial Watch sparred over the claim at the time.
Pate, a Republican, said in a statement that Judicial Watch’s claim was “deeply flawed” and “patently false,” and the Iowa population was greatly underestimated, based on data reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Judicial Watch responded the next day, saying “it is shameful” that Pate is misleading Americans and state residents about the accuracy of Iowa’s registration rolls. Fitton told The Epoch Times at the time that “the EAC data is the gold standard,” and Judicial Watch had successfully used analyses of EAC data in several lawsuits in other states.
The Epoch Times has reached out to the Iowa secretary of state’s office, CISA, and the National Association of Secretaries of State for comments.
White NC Democratic Gov. Cooper refused to even acknowledge state's first black lieutenant governor — a Republican — during State of the State speech
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has made history and waves recently.
Robinson — a Republican — became the state's first black lieutenant governor when he was sworn in Jan. 9 after winning his election last November. In his elected role, he had the duty of presiding over Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's State of the State address last week — making him the first black elected official to do so in the history of the Tar Heel State.
With such a powerful moment going on around him, one would think the governor would consider it worth mentioning during his annual address, the Rev. March Creech wrote in an op-ed for the Christian Post on Monday.
But anyone unfamiliar with Robinson's accomplishments would have learned nothing about them if Cooper's address was their source of information, state Senate Leader Phil Berger noted on Twitter.
"An indication of how far North Carolina has come is @markrobinsonNC, our first black Lt. Governor presiding over tonight's State of the State," Berger said. "An indication of how far the NC Democratic Party has to go is the Democratic Gov's failure to recognize him during the speech."

Creech pointed out that the offense was particularly hypocritical considering Cooper's past rhetoric and actions regarding Black Lives Matter and other race-related issues, not to mention the Democratic Party's ongoing claim to be all about supporting and celebrating black Americans' accomplishments:
he omission was egregious when you think about it, especially since Cooper removed Confederate monuments on the Capitol lawn, marched alongside protestors after the death of George Floyd, made statements in support of Black Lives Matter, and even brought up the issue of racism in his State of the State speech. Moreover, Cooper is a Democrat, supposedly the Party that genuinely cares about the black race. Yet, nothing in North Carolina history has ever occurred like what happened on that Monday evening – a duly elected black man presided over an entire branch of our State's government – to hear the Governor's State of the State speech – and there was not the first acknowledgment of Robinson's achievement for himself or the race he honorably represents. Naturally, the mainstream media couldn't be bothered to bring up Cooper's blatant snub.
Creech is pretty sure he knows why: "Robinson doesn't fit the liberal narrative."
The lieutenant governor is an outspoken social conservative Republican who is not shy about sharing his Christian faith, which means he is "not the kind of minority that helps [the left's] cause."
Being the wrong kind of black man "won't even get you honorable mention in the halls of power with Leftists like Gov. Cooper, even if you are the first black Lt. Governor in the State's history," Creech wrote.
"Race, race, race. It's seemingly almost all we hear about from the Left these days. But when Democratic politicians, like Cooper, overlook, ignore, and diminish great men such as Mark Robinson, it seems to confirm the suspicion that race is being wielded as a political weapon."
On April 22, Robinson was invited to testify at a hearing in the House of Representatives on the Voting Rights Act. Democrats conducted the hearing to criticize the new Georgia voting law that the left has been caught lying about and has purposefully mischaracterized as a return to the Jim Crow era.
During his opening remarks, Robinson called it "insane" and "insulting" to compare the voter ID laws passed in Georgia and other states to Jim Crow laws that were used to tyrannize black Americans and keep them from voting.
After elaborating on how and why it is "preposterous" to compare the Georgia law to Jim Crow laws, he launched into a history lesson, explaining that it was the Republican Party that backed voting rights for black people while the Democratic Party supported voter suppression and Jim Crow.
"That history is clear who stood on which side at every turn in history," Robinson said. "It is clear; it's not even in dispute."

Crist’s Gubernatorial Announcement Falls Flat, Confuses DeSantis With Rick Scott
Crist's Gubernatorial Announcement Falls Flat, Confuses DeSantis With Rick Scott * The Floridian
“Unlike this governor and the Republican leadership in Tallahassee, we will listen to our fellow Floridians. Whether its fully legalizing marijuana, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, strengthening background checks, banning assault weapons, all of these things need to be done to have true justice in our state and our country. Black and Brown Floridians are treated fairly under this administration when we win. That’s what this is about, fundamental fairness for all. A Florida for all Floridians. And listening to the people, it shouldn’t be a radical notion. It’s really pretty simple. Just do the right thing, it’s governing with a heart, Scott. It’s doing the right thing for all our people.”
again with the fakeass lincoln project bullshit.
Face it they are fakes and not to be taken seriously
