Why does an audit have a Twitter account? Can they not go through existing news media?

To easily relay information? "existing news media" is saying there is no such thing as voter fraud, so they are not covering it.

Would Fox News not at least cover it? Or newsmax, or OANN?

Are you saying they don't have the right to have a twitter account?

So much news today is actually prompted or pulled from twitter/social media.

When the vast majority of media is left biased [0] it would be hard to have a decent amount of the population hear what you are finding.

Your source literally begins with "There is no completely clear answer to this question because there is no one exact methodology to measure and rate the partisan bias of news sources."

Yes, I can see it being hard to get the “left wing media” to republish made up bullshit.

Twitter probably now believes that @arizonaaudit has 'lost' this right. (You don't own your Twitter account anyway) But I'm sure even @arizonaaudit saw this coming in the first place.

This is unsurprising since Twitter themselves have already admitted that they have a left-bias. From the CEO [0]: 'I fully admit our bias is more left-leaning'.

They are obviously not the last but because this Twitter account leans from 'the other side', its fine to get rid of them from Twitter. /s

Their platform, their guidelines, their rules.
