YouTube bans videos containing hacked information that could interfere with the election:
As Democrats and Republicans prepare to hold their national conventions starting next week, YouTube on Thursday announced updates to its policies on deceptive videos and other content designed to interfere with the election.
The world's largest video platform, with more than 2 billion users a month, will ban videos containing information that was obtained through hacking and could meddle with elections or censuses. That would include material like hacked campaign emails with details about a candidate. The update follows the announcement of a similar rule that Google, which owns YouTube, unveiled earlier this month banning ads that contain hacked information. Google will start enforcing that policy Sept. 1.
YouTube also said it will take down videos that encourage people to interfere with voting and other democratic processes. For example, videos telling people to create long lines at polling places in order to stifle the vote won't be allowed.
[...] YouTube has also tried to secure its platform from foreign actors. Last week, the company said it banned almost 2,600 channels linked to China as part of investigations into "coordinated influence operations" on the site. YouTube also took down dozens of channels linked to Russia and Iran that had apparent ties to influence campaigns.

Perhaps you or Donnie could provide evidence that mail-in voting is subject to widespread fraud. You're basically accusing both the postal workers and the local police of colluding to overthrow democracy.
I'd expect this shit in some 3rd world "shithole country", not the USA.
But hey this is America, the greatest country on earth. Or so they keep telling us. And yet one side would have you believe the postal service is corrupt.
