He "invented" email almost a decade after email was in use based on the fact that he wrote a program called "email" as a high school student.

The single most relevant sentence from the entire article

> Michelle Tassinari, whom he claims was part of the plot to keep him from his rightful seat in the Senate by destroying one million electronic ballots - a claim she and Galvin deny because there were never any electronic ballots since all the state's ballots are on paper.

A better title for the article and this thread would have been.

Eccentric who lied about inventing email now lies about election and draws ban from twitter.

"order Twitter to reveal the true reason behind its decision on Monday to treat him just like some common failed one-term president" lol

Another Lin Wood character who needs some mental help.

There are lots of idiots on Twitter. Not sure why they had to ban this guy.

Galvi n is the guy who rushed to shut down trading of $GME when the hedge funds were initially cornered. Seems like a shill owned by hedge funds and big business. Not exactly surprised to see him accused of other unethical behavior.

This may be true, but given the claims were around destroying e-ballots (e-ballots were not used), it seems much more likely that the accuser is the one off-base. Worth reading some of the inconsistencies, as well as this guy's history. My conclusion is that he has some mental health issues and shouldn't be made too much fun of.

This crackpot ran for senate and received 39% of the Republican primary vote, so his mental health issues are very much a matter of public concern.
