Georgia special election tweets traced to one source

A Trump-supporting social media guru is flooding Twitter with grass roots-appearing messages against Democrat Jon Ossoff.

With Georgia’s special House election going down to the wire, it’s no shock that Twitter is saturated with Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel. But what is surprising is just how much of the traffic traces to a single, identifiable source.

Accounts related to one entrepreneurial Donald Trump supporter, Robert Shelton, aka @RobertsRooms, have flooded hashtags about the 6th Congressional District election with anti-Ossoff and pro-Handel messaging. ........... Accounts related to one entrepreneurial Donald Trump supporter, Robert Shelton, aka @RobertsRooms, have flooded hashtags about the 6th Congressional District election with anti-Ossoff and pro-Handel messaging. ........... Oddly, each account also tagged tweets with a seemingly unrelated hashtag: #RobertsRooms. These accounts used #RobertsRooms at least 20 times since Thursday in posts about the Ossoff-Handel race.

This hashtag is peppered throughout Twitter chatter about the special election, and especially screeds against Ossoff. Twitter’s search algorithm even correlates #RobertsRooms with campaign hashtags. .... such a distinct calling card offers a rare opportunity to trace the impact of a single player in the online influence game.

Like many social media operatives, Shelton doesn’t broadcast his offline identity. But the bio for @RobertsRooms indicates that the account’s owner is CEO of PlanetStuff Inc. ...............

1. That's sure no surprise, but is there a way to blast the same web sites with THIS info

I don't know how or I would. Best to out the JA if we can! If we can at least get some of the readers to get the truth, I hope it would be enough to turn them against Handel as a damn liar!
