What did the Charlie Kirk Tweet read:
“Pennsylvania just rejected 372,000 mail-in ballots. One voter was said to have submitted 11 duplicate ballots Pennsylvania might be the key to winning the White House What’s going on?” Charlie Kirk’s Twitter account was immediately locked after the post which led the American conservative activist and writer fuming. He said, “Things are constantly changing in the news cycle. Why should Twitter have the power to silence my entire 1.8 million person audience just because a news story changes and I tweeted something that was absolutely and completely widely reported at the time.” As per ProPublica, 3,72,000 ballot applications were excluded. ProPublica went on to file that one out of every five requests for mail-in ballots were being rejected. It further added, “Many voters who already voted during the June primaries had already checked a box to request a mail-in ballot for the presidential election.” A spokesperson for the Pennsylvania State Department said that in spite of the high instance rate of rejected ballot applications, anyone who made raised more than one request “should” eventually receive their ballot.

Twitter further added that to activate the account, Kirk will have to delete six tweets about its reporting on 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and only then Charlie Kirk Twitter account ban will be removed.
