Twitter, like Facebook has in the past, has decided they need to "protect" election results by suppressing what they determine to be "misinformation" by delivering news they curate to their customers.
The 2020 election was the first time big tech companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter had "election integrity" policies. One of the pivotal decision of these social media companies was to completely bury the Hunter Biden story leading up to the election.

That story was labeled "misinformation" and was unable to be shared on Twitter.
Twitter has announced plans for its Civic Integrity Policy:
The Civic Integrity Policy covers the most common types of harmful misleading information about elections and civic events, such as: claims about how to participate in a civic process like how to vote, misleading content intended to intimidate or dissuade people from participating in the election, and misleading claims intended to undermine public confidence in an election – including false information about the outcome of the election. Tweets with this content may be labeled with links to credible information or helpful context, and Twitter will not recommend or amplify this content in areas of the product where Twitter makes recommendations. People on Twitter will see a prompt prior to liking or sharing labeled tweets, and in cases where there is potential for harm associated with the false or misleading claim, the Tweet may not be liked or shared to prevent the spread of the misleading information.
Twitter will also distribute "state-specific hubs" where the platform will handpick content related to state and local political races.
It appears the big tech companies are very fearful of the incoming red wave and are taking action to keep it from happening.
