About this show's numbers

The episodes are this show’s English-language episodes from July 27 to October 28, 2026 that used one of six exact phrases: voter fraud, election fraud, rigged election, stolen election, illegal voting or noncitizen voting. An episode counts once even when it used several. Episodes and lean ratings come from Particle.

Size is the show’s rank on Apple Podcasts charts on October 28. Lean is the show’s rating where we checked it: this show has none. Category is the first one the show lists in its own feed. Cover art comes from the show’s own feed.

A mention is not an endorsement: shows that rebut fraud claims use the same phrases. The stance sample, where a show has one, says which. Back to the report.
