Their rating
Donald Trump, president

“Last night I was leading, often solidly, in many key States, in almost all instances Democrat run & controlled. Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: Variations in who led the race stems from the normal tabulation processes playing out. And the allegation of “surprise ballot dumps” is flat wrong. Officials had been warning about delays in counting for months.

Donald Trump, President of the United States

“How about the ones [ballots] that were printed without my name on it, right? They had everything on it. They had every race, they had everything. You had the Senate, you had everything, they forgot to put me down.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Distorts the Facts

FactCheck.org says: In early October, about 2,100 voters in Los Angeles County accidentally received mail-in ballots that were missing the presidential race entirely. The county sent corrected ballots to them.
