  • Fact Check: Mike Lindell's 2022 Midterm Election Graphs Do NOT Prove Races Were Stolen

    Fact Check

    Do midterm election graphs of unofficial, private election tallies used by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell on social media and on his Frank Speech website prove 2022 elections were stolen? No, that's not true: Spikes in the vote counts are a normal part of clean elections. A Lindell ally said he scraped and graphed data that Edison Research supplies to…

    Fact Check

    Is the ESPN tweet about "a noose found in Bubba Wallace's stall at Talladega Superspeedway" correct? Yes, but it is missing context that makes it clear the noose's message was not likely intended for Wallace.

    Fact Check

    Did Crip gang members volunteer to fight wildfires because they turn the sky red?
