We’re seeing the screenshot and still not believing it, though we also couldn’t believe it when @GayPatriot was banned for calling Chelsea Manning “Bradley” or something like that.
Rep. Steven Smith (who regular Twitchy readers will know represents a nonexistent district) seems to have gotten in trouble for tweeting about voter ID in a reply to Sen. Kamala Harris:
So Twitter has a rule against tweets supporting #VoterID and election integrity (figures).
They’re imposing this rule NINE MONTHS later, just one day before the midterm elections?

So he was forced to remove his tweet trolling Harris over voter ID? We’re not seeing what the infraction was, and Twitter never really tells you. And check out the date; this tweet is from February.

Antitrust time…or perhaps get this viewed as an illegal in-kind contribution to one party.

Trump and Congress could stop it but they have either decided not to or wait till after the election. So far I have only heard talk as always.

Mark my words ppl…if #GOP extends their majorities in House and Senate @realDonaldTrump will go after @twitter and @facebook.
Their outright suppression of free speech will wind up in front of #SCOTUS.

I was in twitter jail for 7 DAYS for typing TWO words about Obama, the EXACT SAME two words are typed at Trump on THOUSANDS of tweets, in the SAME context every minute. Twitter will do ANYTHING to get these libs in office.

Same thing happened with Jack Murphy, 'cept he had to delete his. Same deal tho, tweets was from months ago. https://t.co/p6yuK27nMg

Apparently, Voter ID is a dirty word.
But … no election interference here

Unbelievable

I tried posting a link to a news article and they would not let me no matter how I tried. A lot of retweets say tweet was deleted when it wasn't. The censorship is real.

Ridiculous, does Twitter get offend with corporate ID? I mean all their employees require one to get inside. Is that awful and racist?
— ThinkDoEnjoy (@Joy04) November 6, 2018
Really @Twitter???? I have to show my ID to #vote in Arkansas, always have and I have to show to use my credit card, or pick my medication or use my insurance. I mean this is so asinine.
— Jessica Miller (@2old4Timberlake) November 6, 2018
Why is showing an ID to vote even remotely controversial? We need to use them all the time for everything else in life…?♂️
— Mike Anto (@M_P_Anto) November 5, 2018
This is insane. I live in the big blue state of Hawaii and I have to show my ID every time I vote.
— JDUB (@JdubHawaii15) November 5, 2018
What link did you post?
— David Evans (@TheNotoriousDKE) November 6, 2018
Is it possible Twitter was just adhering to its No. 1 priority of election integrity?
I believe this tweet was reported for misinformation not the rule you reference. @SenKamalaHarris does not support #VoterID. ?
— Jeri McNeill ??? (@bajshagirl) November 6, 2018
It’s still stupid. And one-sided.
