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: The number on the TV graphic mistakenly included in-person and mail-in ballots, but was quickly corrected.
FactCheck.org says: There has been no evidence of voter fraud affecting the outcome of the 2020 election, and the Trump campaign has provided none.
FactCheck.org says: Claims spread that votes for Donald Trump weren’t counted in Arizona because ballots filled out with Sharpie pens. But the county where the claim originated recommends that voters use Sharpies to fill out their ballots.
FactCheck.org says: Mail-in ballots for all federal races are still being counted in some states.
FactCheck.org says: State data shows the number of registered voters exceeded the votes cast by nearly 388,000, as of Nov. 1.
FactCheck.org says: A top election expert told us that it is routine for ballot counting to be suspended late in the evening, to be picked up the following morning. Final vote tabulations do not occur on election night.
FactCheck.org says: Vote counting always goes past Election Day. There’s nothing unusual about that. Most states don’t start counting mail-in ballots until Election Day.
FactCheck.org says: Residents in Pennsylvania told to quarantine can still vote, including by requesting an emergency absentee ballot.
FactCheck.org says: The chair of the Erie County Board of Elections says the man "does not work in any way with Erie County or have any part of Erie County’s election process."
FactCheck.org says: The nearest voting place was a block away from the marchers’ rally, and the governor said it was the police who engaged in “voter intimidation.”
FactCheck.org says: White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows actually said, “We are not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation areas.”
FactCheck.org says: A video suggests there’s been “voter fraud” in Utah, but all it shows is a misunderstanding of a poll worker’s mistake on the first day of early voting. The mistake was corrected and the system worked, as intended.
FactCheck.org says: Both states currently have very similar restrictions. For example, in both Arizona and Nevada, bars, restaurants, movie theaters and gyms are all open, but use is capped at 50% of capacity.
FactCheck.org says: We surveyed all 50 states. By our count, there are eight states that specifically allow for early voters to change their votes.
FactCheck.org says: City election officials tracked down the voter and found that the allegation of pre-filled out ballots for Joe Biden was false. The ballot was filled in by a voter who made a mistake when mailing the ballot.
