FACT FOCUS: A look at false and misleading claims surrounding the 2024 election
With early voting underway, false and misleading reports have emerged online. There's a false claim that a video shows ballots for former President Donald Trump being destroyed in Bucks County, Pennsylvania — it's fake. There are allegations that there are more registered voters than those eligible to vote in Michigan — but the voter numbers included inactive registrations not eligible by law to be removed yet. And there's a claim that a voter’s choice was “flipped” by a Dominion voting machine in Georgia that was found to be user error. The vote was corrected at the polling site.
