FactCheck.org is a non-profit project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. It checks claims in United States politics.
FactCheck.org says: A digitally manipulated letter referring to a “Democratic Play book” and attributed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been circulating online, contributing to partisan rancor following the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
FactCheck.org says: Several of the Trump campaign’s legal challenges have been dismissed by judges for a lack of any evidence of voter fraud.
FactCheck.org says: Online posts falsely claim that there was fraud in the Senate runoff elections in Georgia, but the only evidence they offer are clips of election night newscasts that corrected two data-entry errors.
FactCheck.org says: The Constitution doesn’t say the vice president shall count the votes, Epps said. “It says the votes shall be counted.” And the Electoral Count Act says that counting is done by tellers in Congress.
FactCheck.org says: The only support for the claim is a Dec. 8 letter the Georgia Republican Party sent to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics asking for an investigation.
FactCheck.org says: By the end of Trump's term, the length of fencing will be well short of what Trump promised repeatedly during the campaign or what his administration initially proposed when he took office.
FactCheck.org says: Anti-vaccine Facebook pages used an edited news clip to suggest the COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe. The clip shows a nurse fainting, but it doesn’t show her recovery afterward when she explains that she is prone to fainting.
FactCheck.org says: A false claim that a nurse died after getting the COVID-19 vaccine in Alabama has been feeding into the anti-vaccine disinformation online. Alabama’s health department reported that no one who got the vaccine has died.
FactCheck.org says: Perdue has said he opposed the large spending bills in question for reasons that had nothing to do with the provisions concerning congressional or military pay, which were only part of the bills.
FactCheck.org says: A video claims that COVID-19 vaccines have a microchip that “tracks the location of the patient.” The chip, which is not currently in use, would provide information only about the vaccine dose. It cannot track people.
FactCheck.org says: Experts told us the claim misuses a questionable statistical analysis that made implausible assumptions about the 2020 election.
FactCheck.org says: That’s a reference to the 2017 Republican tax law that temporarily cut individual income taxes, but Loeffler supports making permanent provisions that are set to expire after 2025.
FactCheck.org says: Using Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections, we looked at the 2016 results and found that Biden outperformed Clinton in every state -- not just swing states – both by the number and the percentage of votes.
