Whole system is bull#. Why people are voting for Trump to begin with

I've confirmed the Twitter suppression of the #votingfraud hash tag.
I retweeted this under the ATS Twitter account.
Interesting but not very scientific.
The first tweet has 8 hashtags. Three of the hashtags contained the word "fraud" and three contained the word "Texas" and two contained the word "Trump." The second tweet contained 0 hashtags.
Why don't you try another tweet with less hashtags and less overlap? It could be that you're tripping some sort automated spam filter.
EDIT:
I for one had no problem using the hashtag. Deleted and tried another tweet (with suppressed spelled correctly lol):
Rumours that Twitter has begun ‘shadowbanning’ politically inconvenient users have been confirmed by a source inside the company, who spoke exclusively to Breitbart Tech. His claim was corroborated by a senior editor at a major publisher. According to the source, Twitter maintains a ‘whitelist’ of favoured Twitter accounts and a ‘blacklist’ of unfavoured accounts. Accounts on the whitelist are prioritised in search results, even if they’re not the most popular among users. Meanwhile, accounts on the blacklist have their posts hidden from both search results and other users’ timelines. Our source was backed up by a senior editor at a major digital publisher, who told Breitbart that Twitter told him it deliberately whitelists and blacklists users. [snip]
Shadowbanning, sometimes known as “Stealth Banning” or “Hell Banning,” is commonly used by online community managers to block content posted by spammers. Instead of banning a user directly (which would alert the spammer to their status, prompting them to create a new account), their content is merely hidden from public view. [snip] However, Twitter isn’t merely targeting spammers. For weeks, users have been reporting that tweets from populist conservatives, members of the alternative right, cultural libertarians, and other anti-PC dissidents have disappeared from their timelines. Among the users complaining of shadowbans are sci-fi author and alt-right figurehead Vox Day, geek culture blogger “Daddy Warpig,” and the popular pro-Trump account Ricky Vaughn. [snip]

So just because you don't like Trump no one should?
That is one of the greatest things about this country.
People get to vote for whoever they so choose. Whenever they choose.
Unless there is voting fraud going on which is a given, and not a trait unique to any one side.
Hell even dead people vote for our elections.

They say it was changed, do they have the documentation for that or is it just hearsay?

I don't have an informed opinion as to whether or not Twitter is shadowbanning anyone. I was simply pointing out that SO's test wasn't methodologically sound and that when I attempted to replicate it, eliminating possible issues stemming from the use of other hashtags, my results were different.

Nothing new... Several years ago there were accusations of voting machines flipping votes in Texas. Some judge ordered the machines impounded and investigated. They were stored in a warehouse in Houston. Before they could be tested the whole warehouse and machines burned to the ground. Nothing to see here move along ?
The question should be for those who actually care is what can be done to execute fair and proper vote counts ? The most important action in the country is electing officials for government offices yet it is not worth the effort to actually provide a system that is not corruptible... go figure....

You can't say anything on twitter apparently, for example #votingfraud. You would have noticed that if you read all the way through the first post before seeing red and going on one of your Anti-Trump rants.
Rep. Tom Feeney (Fmr. Speaker of The House in Florida) employed this man from Oviedo, FL to rig elections and flip them 51% to 49%. Exit polling data was proven to be significantly different than the published results. Rep. Feeney was also the lobbyist for Yang Enterprises, the company who delivered the program.
