349 claims
True75% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The FBI surged personnel from every field office in the country to conduct an investigation in Georgia this summer.Said by CMultiple sources report that in early July 2026 the FBI ordered all of its field offices to surge hundreds of analysts to a priority investigation into Georgia's 2020 election, which fits the claim's core assertion. The sources say 'across the country' and 'all field offices' rather than literally every office, and the claim's 'some kind of investigation' wording was faithfully extracted from the post.True85% confidence6 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Justice Department sent letters to election officials in every state threatening them over non-citizen voting.Said by CNBC News and the Philadelphia Inquirer (citing the New York Times) report that the Justice Department sent letters to election officials in all 50 states and DC in July 2026, warning of criminal prosecution over noncitizen voting. The claim matches the post's 'every single state' wording, and no source contradicts it.True88% confidence4 sourcesSep 16, 2026The President gave a prime time speech on July 16th regarding election fraud evidence.Said by CMultiple tier1 sources confirm President Trump gave a prime-time address on July 16, 2026, focused on election security and fraud claims, and that the White House framed it as presenting evidence. The sources also report the speech offered no evidence of vote tampering, so the claim is accurate on the speech's date and subject but would mislead if read as saying evidence was actually presented.True97% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026North Dakota does not have voter registration.Said by CThe claim that North Dakota does not have voter registration is directly confirmed by multiple primary and tier-1 sources, including the state's Secretary of State (2026), the EAC (2026), and Vote.gov (2024). The claim faithfully matches the passage, which says North Dakota doesn't have voter registration, and the sources are consistent across 2018 to 2026.True85% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Department of Homeland Security threatened states with fines and charges over election measures.Said by CReuters reporting from July 17, 2026 says DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened state officials with fines and criminal charges if they did not comply with election security measures, and the claim matches the post's wording faithfully. Other outlets repeat the same Reuters account, and Politico (tier 2) separately describes DHS threats toward states that refused to hand over voter rolls, so the core assertion is well supported, though the Reuters-derived copies are not independent of one another.True90% confidence8 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Justice Department is recruiting approximately 1,000 monitors to observe polls this year.Said by CMultiple independent reliable sources (AP, PBS, LA Times, Reuters, Atlantic, Votebeat) report the Justice Department is deploying about 1,000 monitors to observe the November 2026 midterm polls, per DOJ spokesperson Kiersten Pels and a senior DOJ official. The claim's 'this year' and 'approximately 1,000' match the record; the claim is accurately extracted from the passage, which called it 'a thousand monitors to observe things at the polls this year', and the record was reported as of the 2026-09-16 posting date only in part, since most coverage post-dates it, but the plan is confirmed in later sources rather than contradicted.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True90% confidence4 sourcesSep 16, 2026In March 2026, the President signed an executive order directing the Department of Homeland Security to create a national voter list using federal data sources.Said by CThe March 31, 2026 executive order did direct the Department of Homeland Security, working with the Social Security Administration, to compile a nationwide list of eligible voters for each state, so the core claim holds. The extracted claim omits the post's assertion that this was the first time in American history, which the sources neither confirm nor refute, and it is not graded here.True80% confidence7 sourcesSep 16, 2026Every state in the United States sends mail ballots.Said by CMultiple sources state that every U.S. state offers some form of mail or absentee voting, and ballots are mailed to voters in all states, either automatically in eight states and D.C. or on request elsewhere. The claim's literal wording is broader than 'automatic mailing', but under the standard reading that states send mail ballots to voters, the sources support it as of 2026-09-16.True85% confidence6 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Supreme Court ruled that Judge Talwani's injunction was premature because the Postal Service rules had not been finalized and the case was not ripe.Said by CThe August 24, 2026 Supreme Court stay order on Talwani's injunction is reported as holding the challenge premature (unripe) because the Postal Service rule had not yet been finalized, which matches the claim. The claim's referent is the post's 'couple of weeks ago' ruling, and the September 14 Reuters order is a different, later ruling that the claim does not address.True92% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026Judge Tawani issued a temporary restraining order for two weeks on the Thursday following the Supreme Court order.Said by CThe sources confirm that Judge Indira Talwani (the claim misspells the name as 'Tawani') issued a 14-day temporary restraining order on Thursday, August 27, 2026, the Thursday after the Supreme Court's Monday, August 24 order that lifted the earlier injunctions. The claim departs from the passage in no material way, and the post's 'next day' after Wednesday's filings matches the Thursday date.True60% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026By the end of the week of September 16, 2026, 20 states will have begun sending mail ballots out.Said by CAs of September 16, 2026, sources support the claim that about 20 states would have begun mailing ballots by the end of that week. NCSL, as reported by USA Today/Reuters on September 12, said 20 states send ballots within the next week or already have, and the September 9 Supreme Court filing says other states' initial mailing dates fall between September 4 and October 16, with the federal military/overseas deadline of September 19. No source gives an exact count for the end of that week, and the extraction's reading of "next week" as the week of September 16 is an inference from the post's date.True85% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The executive order in question was issued five months prior to September 16, 2026.Said by BThe executive order at issue was signed March 31, 2026, per AP, BBC, Reuters, and the Federal Register citation in the sources. That is about five and a half months before September 16, 2026, so 'five months' is a fair rounding and the claim matches the post's own wording.
