Text scam on Twitter. Trump supporter should be in jail.


Ads sweeping social media on Twitter tell people to cast their vote for Hillary Clinton with a simple text.

These ads have been called a “legitimate attempt to confuse and intimidate voters.”

A Republican city councilman is in hot water after he shared a deceiving meme over the weekend telling Pennsylvania voters they could vote for Hillary Clinton online on Election Day just by using a hashtag.
According to screenshots posted by blogger Billy Penn, the memes posted by Murrysville City Councilman Joshua Lorenz read "Vote Hillary November 8th" and "You can vote at home comfortably online." Lorenz wrote "more proof that the election is rigged. Only Hillary supporters can vote from their smartphones from the comfort or in the comfort of their own homes," according to the screenshots.
No state allows voters to vote via social media post.
Lorenz told the Associated Press that he deleted the posts, which he said were meant as a joke.

"Look at the meme itself, 'You can vote from home comfortably online,'" he told the AP. "Who could possibly think that? It was a joke on my private page, with my friends. It wasn't for public consumption."
