    Fact Check

    Did a Bon Jovi performance at a Biden campaign event in Dallas, Pennsylvania draw a mere 12 people? No, that's not true: There were far more than 12 people in attendence.

  • Fact Check: There Are NOT More Registered Voters In Arizona Than The Total Population Of The State

    Fact Check

    Are there 9,871,525 registered voters in Arizona, a state of only 7.279 million? No, that's not true: This is a false claim that has been circulating on Facebook. The number 9,871,525 actually refers to the total number of people in the U.S. who shared on Facebook that they were registered to vote at one point in late September. The claim…

  • Fact Check: Biden Was NOT Wearing A Communications Device In Debate With Trump

    Fact Check

    Do images from the September 29, 2020, presidential debate show that Joe Biden was wearing a communications device, perhaps to receive tips on what to say? No, that is not true. Social media posts are making this claim after a rosary, worn by Biden around his wrist in remembrance of his son, was seen poking from his sleeve -- and…

  • Fact Check: Absentee Ballot Application With Trump Ads Did NOT Come From A Local Elections Office -- Political Groups Can Send Them

    Fact Check

    Was an official absentee ballot application with Trump campaign advertisements all over it sent to a woman by the local elections office? No, that's not true: Ballot applications can be sent out by groups other than local board of elections. A mailing with campaign ads would have come from a group supporting a campaign, not from the nonpartisan elections office.…

  • Fact Check: Nixon Did NOT Pardon The Late John McCain -- McCain Was Never Charged With Anything, Never A Reason For A Pardon

    Fact Check

    Did former President Richard M. Nixon pardon the late U.S. Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, on multiple charges including treason? No, this is not true. McCain -- who is hailed by many as a hero for his service and surviving captivity during the Vietnam War but who has been disparaged by President Trump -- was…

  • Fact Check: Adding A Stamp To Postage-Paid Ballot Does NOT Force USPS To Handle It As First-Class Instead Of Bulk -- It's Already First-Class Mail

    Fact Check

    Does adding a stamp to your postage-paid ballot force USPS to handle it as first-class instead of bulk mail? No, that's not true. A meme claims that adding postage to the mail-in ballots will speed up the delivery process before Election Day. But a pre-paid ballot envelope is already first-class mail, so adding postage does not "enhance service," the United…

  • Fact Check: Two Stamps Are NOT Needed For Mail-In Ballots

    Fact Check

    Are two stamps needed for mail-in ballots to be delivered and counted? No, that's not true: The U.S. Post Service has a policy of delivering all ballots, even if they do not have enough postage on the envelope, a USPS spokesman told Lead Stories. No stamps are needed in 18 states where prepaid envelopes are provided for voters. A quick…

  • Fact Check: DNC Group Did NOT Teach Illegals To Vote

    Fact Check

    Was a DNC group caught on video teaching illegal immigrants how to vote illegally? No, that's not true: A video purporting to catch someone with a voter registration group linked to the Democratic National Committee was edited to inaccurately to show its interaction with a man who falsely claimed not to be a U.S. citizen. The group was not connected…

  • Fake News: Former FBI Director James Comey NOT Implicated In Spy Ring

    Fact Check

    Did a website point to evidence implicating former FBI Director James Comey in a spy ring? No, that's not true: The story is "clickbait" and offers no documentary evidence to back up its claims. The site links to another website that has knowingly pushed "propaganda and conspiracies" and has failed numerous fact checks. Some of the audio clips refer to…

    Fact Check

    Did Democrats gain a congressional seat for every 770,000 illegal immigrants counted in a sanctuary city or state by the 2010 U.S. census? No, that's not true: It is a claim based on bad math, ignoring election history, demographic trends showing a declining number of undocumented immigrants, and many factors that determine how congressional seats are apportioned and districts drawn.…
