  • Fact Check: Putative Colorado Computer Backups Do NOT Prove Dominion Deleted Election Logs From Voting Machines After 2020 Election

    Fact Check

  • Fact Check: Lindell's 'Truth vs. The Big Lie' Numbers Flat-Out Contradict Douglas G. Frank's Theories About Phantom Voters Being Used To Inject Votes

    Fact Check

    Did "corrected" vote totals from the 2020 election presented by Mike Lindell at his election fraud Cyber Symposium as "Truth" support the theory that fake ballots were injected into every state's official election returns?
