What we found

Contradicts. Former Attorney General William Barr said on Dec. 1, 2020 that the DOJ had not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected the election outcome, and federal agencies concluded there was no widespread voter fraud.[1][2]

Contradicts. State and federal judges rejected Trump's fraud claims for lack of evidence, and election security officials called the 2020 election the most secure in American history.[1][3]

Contradicts. AP found that Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin reviews and audits did not uncover widespread or systematic fraud, and that Nevada's review found most fraud allegations were based on incomplete information.[4]

Contradicts. A PNAS statistical analysis concluded that the main statistical claims of stolen-election fraud were not convincing, as the purportedly anomalous facts were either not facts or not anomalous.[5]

Context. Trump lost the 2020 election by more than 7 million popular votes and 306-232 in the Electoral College, and Nevada's Supreme Court upheld dismissal of fraud claims, finding Biden won the state.[6][7]
