“Utah voter: “VOTER FRAUD? YOU TELL ME”

FactCheck.org rated this: Distorts the Facts

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.

“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 rated this: Mostly False

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.
