In a video on Facebook, Trump said that Democrats pushed to mail out millions of ballots to voters “with virtually no safeguards.” That’s bogus. First, GOP election officials mailed out ballots too. And there were safeguards nationwide. bit.ly/37Y4ou4
Trump said that mail in voting led to “fraud and abuse” on a scale never seen before. Wrong. Federal officials said the Nov. 3 election “was the most secure in American history.” bit.ly/3pIhRfS
Trump repeated the myth that ballots were sent en masse to dead people in Nevada. Around 226,000 ballots for the primary were returned to Clark County because the voters didn’t live at the address, but that doesn’t mean they were all dead. bit.ly/32ekIDS
Trump said that voting rolls are packed with people who are deceased. Yes there are dead people on the voter rolls at any given moment, but it’s only a crime if someone then fills out a ballot in the name of a dead voter and sends it in. bit.ly/32ekIDS

Trump said that Dominion voting equipment is “suspect” and that the votes can be changed from Trump to Biden. Dominion has been at the center of viral misinfo including that it caused widespread tabulation errors, flipping votes for Biden. Pants on Fire! bit.ly/3lteh6Q
Trump said “this election was rigged.” Before Nov. 3, Trump falsely said the only way he could lose was if the Dems rigged it. A conspiracy to rig a national election would require hundreds or thousands of people working together to commit felonies. bit.ly/3aRvLFy
Trump said that in Michigan, “At 6:31 in the morning, a vote dump of 149,772 votes came in, unexpectedly. We were winning by a lot… Nobody knows anything about it.” There is no credible basis to this. Rand Paul tweeted something similar: Pants on Fire! bit.ly/3oh5bex
Trump said the recent recount in Georgia “means nothing because they don’t want to check signatures.” We rated a similar claim Pants on Fire! bit.ly/2IQ4Dg2
Trump said many many dead people voted in the election. Wrong. bit.ly/3qcghDk
Trump claimed that many people received multiple ballots. That wouldn’t be evidence of fraud. bit.ly/2E5CAa0
Trump said “Many voters all across Pennsylvania received two ballots in the mail.” Allegheny County did mistakenly send duplicate mail ballots to some residents in May. But it’s wrong to suggest that this means they can cast multiple votes. bit.ly/32tnx2s
Trump wrongly claimed that “defective” voting machines “stopped during certain parts of the evening” on Election Day. That echoes online misinformation we rated False. bit.ly/36495Qj
Trump wrongly claimed that he won all the swing states at “10 o’clock in the evening, the evening of the election.” When he falsely and prematurely declared victory that night, we rated his claim Pants on Fire! bit.ly/3mQm9j1
Trump said that if “corrupt” and “irregular” votes are “terminated,” then “I very easily win, in all states. I very easily win these swing states.” The claim that Trump won more legal votes is Pants on Fire false. bit.ly/2IfMPem
Trump said that in Pa. “large amounts of mail-in and absentee ballots were processed illegally and in secret.” We fact-checked a similar claim from Sen. Ted Cruz who said the state’s vote counting process was “in a shroud of darkness.” False. bit.ly/36bH4Xd
Trump wrongly claimed election observers “were not allowed to watch” the ballot counting process. That’s contradicted by photo evidence, statements from local election officials, and Trump’s own campaign lawyers’ testimony in court. bit.ly/2UnQvgM
