[Lnc-business] Social Media Assets

[Alicia Mattson]

That was such a subtle difference that I was looking for it and still
couldn't see it until the uppercase "i" was mentioned.

When fake accounts like this are reported, do we ever find out from Twitter
details that would indicate who was impersonating the party?  Maybe the IP
address on those posts match the IP address from another account?  If, for
example, the person impersonating the party were an LNC member, maybe we'd
wanna know that.
