Beware the “Disinformation” Police

There is a bill being considered in Annapolis that would severely constrain our First Amendment rights to question the process or results of elections. In HB 333, “Election Disinformation on Large Social Media Platforms and Influence Related to Voting,” “election disinformation” means incorrect or misleading information about election procedures, election results, or voting rights in the State. The bill requires each large social media platform to make reasonable efforts to prevent, detect, and remove accounts and posts that communicate “election disinformation” in the State. The social media platform must report — within 48 hours — very specific information about the problematic posts to the State Board of Elections. Failure to do so would incur fines ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 per offense.

A person who objects to non-citizens voting could be labeled as opposing voting rights.  A person who questions the vote count could be said to be spreading disinformation about an election result.

Recent elections in Democrat controlled areas have shown that they can overwhelm results with mail-in ballots. It's not unusual for Republicans to win on election day, when those in-person votes are counted, but after all the mail in / drop box ballots are added, the Republicans lose. We won't let that happen again. The new leadership  of the Republican Party is fully behind using mail-in ballots when your Democrat run state pursues it. Watch the video and sign up now for the Primary and General election. And let's Bank the Vote!
