“Absentee voting is different from mail-in voting and has more protections against fraud.”
PolitiFact says: There is no difference between absentee voting and voting by mail. All mail ballots, regardless of how they're requested, are treated the same once they’re cast. They all require verification before being counted.
“Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???”
PolitiFact says: Since 1845, Congress has required states to appoint presidential electors on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Any change would require congressional action.
“MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES," resulting in a "RIGGED" election.”
FactCheck.org says: Voting experts say there are numerous logistical hurdles and security safeguards that would prevent a foreign government from slipping large numbers of fraudulent ballots past election officials.
“President Donald Trump's reelection campaign posted a Craigslist ad that said, "Excited and enthusiastic MINORITY Actors and Actresses needed to hold signs at event in Tulsa.”
FactCheck.org says: Posts cite a Craigslist ad to support the claim that Trump’s campaign is seeking “MINORITY Actors” to hold signs at his June 20 rally in Tulsa, Okla. The campaign says it didn’t post the ad and Craigslist has removed it.
“With absentee voting, as opposed to mail-in voting, "they have to go through a very strict process. The equivalent of going to a voting machine, or maybe even sometimes better.”
FactCheck.org says: Voting experts told us the verification process is the same for absentee and mail-in ballots, and many states consider them to be the same thing.
“Donald Trump is recruiting “excited and enthusiastic MINORITY actors and actresses” to appear at his campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla.”
“Twitter censored a video from Donald Trump's campaign”
“A photo shows former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin at a 2019 campaign rally for President Donald Trump.”
“California Gov. Gavin Newsom is sending ballots “to anybody. People that aren’t citizens, illegals. Anybody that walks in California is going to get a ballot.”
FactCheck.org says: California will send every registered voter in the state a mail-in ballot for the November general election.
“California Gov. Gavin Newsom “is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one" and the election is "Rigged.”
PolitiFact says: Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan calls for sending mail-in ballots only to active registered voters in California, not to “anyone.” Trump’s claim that voting by mail leads to fraud is misleading. Experts have found it rare.
“[U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb] said he would NOT vote for [Nancy Pelosi] for Speaker, and did.”
PolitiFact says: Lamb’s voting record shows that Trump’s claim is not true. He was one of 15 Democrats in Congress who did not vote for Pelosi in the January 2019 speaker election, instead voting for U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III.
“Donald Trump said he'd run as a Republican because of their 'dumb voters”
TheJournal.ie says: A commonly-shared image purporting to be from a 1998 interview with People Magazine is a fake.
“Rep. Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania "said he would NOT vote for her for Speaker, and did.”
FactCheck.org says: Lamb voted for Rep. Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts to be speaker -- not Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
“Michigan sends absentee ballots to 7.7 million people ahead of Primaries and the General Election.”
FactCheck.org says: The state has said it will send absentee ballot applications — not actual ballots — to all registered voters, who may want to vote by mail.
“Rogue” Michigan official sent absentee ballots to 7.7 million people “illegally and without authorization” ahead of the primaries and general election.”
PolitiFact says: Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced May 19 that all registered voters in Michigan will be sent an application to vote by mail in the August and November elections — not a ballot.
