PolitiFact
PolitiFact is a United States fact-checking site run by the Poynter Institute. It rates claims by politicians and viral posts on its Truth-O-Meter, from True to Pants on Fire.
“A poll worker in Erie County, Pa., threw out over 100 ballots for Donald Trump.”
“Antifa gearing up for false flag violence disguised as Trump-supporters.”
“Biden says he doesn’t need voters to get elected.”
PolitiFact says: Biden’s speeches in Michigan urged Americans to vote, contrary to the claim in the video on TikTok.
“Bricks are being “randomly placed all over Detroit.”
“Broken voting machines in Russellville, Ark., tried to automatically tally votes meant for Donald Trump as votes for Joe Biden.”
PolitiFact says: A voting machine at an early voting polling site in Arkansas froze on a voter. Poll workers removed the machine. The machine never computed a vote for Joe Biden. The issue involved just one machine.
“Kohl's confirmed that they will be selling BLM merchandise” but are not selling “back the blue” at this time.”
“Poll watchers in Philadelphia prevented from entering polling places.”
PolitiFact says: A poll watcher was denied access to one polling site in Philadelphia, because the person in charge of that particular polling place was not up to date on the law. A city official said that was an isolated incident.
“Stacks of bricks are showing up in Denver because “the Evil Left is getting ready to destroy downtown.”
“Trump supporters are blocking access to polling sites at Clifton City Hall, New Jersey.”
PolitiFact says: Surveillance video of the 40-second incident showed that no voter intimidation occurred.
“Dems have removed any mention of ‘God’ from their Platform.”
PolitiFact says: The 2020 Democratic Party platform includes a reference to “God-given potential.” It also includes numerous references to faith and religious freedom.
“In Massachusetts, "anybody can go vote for anybody so long as they have their information. … They're not even checking IDs at the polling stations.”
PolitiFact says: Massachusetts doesn't require everyone to show a government-issued photo ID to vote, but there are some instances when people will be asked to show ID. Voting or attempting to vote under someone else’s name is illegal.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ government-run health care plan… could lead to hospitals being closed, put Medicare coverage at risk, and give benefits to illegal immigrants.”
PolitiFact says: Joe Biden’s health care plan includes an option for people to buy into government managed health care, but that would not be the only option.
“Nancy Pelosi’s son served on the Burisma board with Hunter Biden.”
“People are less likely to just vote for party now. … They’re looking at the personalities.”
PolitiFact says: Trump’s abrasive approach doesn’t appear to be resonating with suburban women, but generally speaking voters are making decisions based on party now more than ever.
“Photo shows a “clearly intoxicated” Kamala Harris “throwing up in the bushes & staggering aimlessly at the Cleveland airport.”
“Photo shows Joe Biden “doesn’t wear a mask on a plane.”
“Says his supporters were “protecting” Joe Biden’s campaign bus in Texas.”
PolitiFact says: The Biden campaign said the vehicles with Trump supporters tried to slow down the campaign bus and run it off the road, and that staffers called 911 because they were concerned for their safety. The FBI is investigating.
“Says President Trump’s Oct. 31 rally in Butler, Pa., drew over 57,000 people.”
PolitiFact says: We could find no official tally, but estimates from police, local news outlets and bus operators put the number of attendees between 10,000 and about 15,000.
“A lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act backed by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey “would eliminate health care for over 800,000 West Virginians.”
PolitiFact says: The analysis didn’t only address people at risk of losing their coverage entirely. It also includes people who could see higher premiums or restrictions on what conditions are covered.
