The passage never names the person it refers to; it says only "He", so the extracted name "Dan Bell" departs from the post, and the verdict is unverifiable on that basis. No source addresses any Dan Bell tweet about votes being stolen in real time, and the only Bell in the sources is a different candidate.
Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.
What we found
Context. The passage refers only to "He" and never names Dan Bell, so the extracted claim adds a name the post does not state.
Context. The one Bell in the sources is Jack Lloyd Bell II, a Florida primary candidate in the 8/18/2026 results; that is a different referent and does not address the claim.[1]
Context. Election officials and fact-checkers say real-time vote-flipping claims in 2026 are almost always user error or screen miscalibration, and no widespread reports were found; this concerns the broader trend, not the specific Dan Bell post.[2][3]
