I think it works pretty much like Twitter.

I don’t know about TS.

I have worked for some years on elections in Wake County, either the largest or second-largest county by population in the state. There are lots of African-Americans working for the Board of Elections year-round. The county does a very good job of following state election laws. I don’t see that the skin color of the elections staff has any effect on results.

If they’re not working in elections administration, why do I care?

Uh huh, which is why you confused state financing with state employment.

In 2020, the PA Secretary of State advised local election boards that they should ignore PA statues governing election procedures. Counties governed by Democrats did just that.

The Secretary of State has no authority over elections in New York.

As I understand it, what he did was “re-truth” (or whatever they call it) the photo and link on his Truth Social.

NBC news is saying that- Mr. Trump [did] retweet, on twitter, this shaky rumor about Mr. Desantis.
