Can’t tell60% confidence3 sourcesOct 15, 2026Donald Trump won the state of Nevada in the 2020 election with the highest vote total in the history of Nevada.Said by AThe sources show Joe Biden, not Trump, won Nevada in the 2020 election (50.06% to 47.67%), but the passage never names 2020; the extracted claim adds that year, so it departs from the post, which refers to an unspecified Nevada win. The post's 'highest vote in the history of Nevada' assertion is not corroborated by any source, so the claim as posted cannot be graded from these sources.Can’t tell60% confidence7 sourcesOct 15, 202698% of people who voted against Donald Trump in the past say they will vote for House Republican candidates in the upcoming election.Said by 6AThe claim departs from the passage: the 98% figure in the post refers to MAGA Republicans (who backed Trump 99% in 2024), not to people who voted against Trump, and no source reports a 98% figure for anti-Trump voters. Sources do show Republican likely voters at 96% supporting their party's candidates (ABC/Post/Ipsos, Oct. 9-13), but that is a different group and figure.Can’t tell20% confidence2 sourcesOct 15, 2026The book titled The War of Stories is available for purchase at badlandsmedia.tv/rise.The post says 'The War of Stories, available now at badlands media.tv slash rise,' and the extracted claim matches that wording faithfully. None of the sources mentions a book titled The War of Stories or confirms that badlandsmedia.tv/rise sells it; the phrase 'war of stories' appears only as podcast rhetoric, and the Badlands shop page lists other products. Absence of coverage is not contradiction, so the claim cannot be graded.Can’t tell35% confidence6 sourcesOct 15, 2026A 104-year-old veteran received the Congressional Medal of Honor.The post says Trump mentioned a Medal of Honor for a 104-year-old veteran during an October 2026 rally, and the claim faithfully reflects that. None of the sources shows a 104-year-old receiving the Medal of Honor: the sources show Royce Williams at 100 (February 2026, described as the oldest recipient ever) and later recipients with no stated age of 104, while the 104-year-old Oscar Primm was honored only by a House statement, not the Medal of Honor.Can’t tell50% confidence7 sourcesOct 15, 2026Democrats are planning to reopen the southern border and open the prisons and jails of the planet to release criminals into the United States.Said by AThe post made a conditional forecast ('if the Democrats get back into power, they will...'), but the extracted claim restates it as a present plan ('are planning'), which departs from the passage. The sources contain partisan characterizations that Democrats want open borders and a Democratic Socialists of America cochair's answer on abolishing prisons, but none shows a Democratic plan to empty the world's prisons into the U.S. The Marshall Project fact-check debunks Trump's claims about prison releases from Venezuela, a different referent, so it does not settle this claim.Can’t tell40% confidence4 sourcesSep 16, 2026Turnout among registered voters in 2020 was 94.1%.The only source giving a registered-voter turnout figure near 94% is an unrated 2022 outlet citing Pew, which prints the number as a garbled "94.%"; the primary Pew validated-turnout page (source 4) is shown without the figure. Other sources use different measures (Census: 66.8% of citizens 18+; Colorado county tables), which neither confirm nor refute a registered-voter figure. The claim matches the passage's wording, so no extraction departure applies.Can’t tell40% confidence8 sourcesSep 16, 2026The federal government provided aid and comfort to the state of Colorado in its efforts to remove Donald Trump from the ballot.Said by BThe claim that the federal government gave 'aid and comfort' to Colorado in its effort to remove Trump from the ballot is a characterization the sources do not directly address: they cover the 2023 Colorado ballot case and later federal DOJ actions against Colorado, but none states the federal government aided Colorado's removal effort, and the passage's own assertion is the speaker's opinion, not evidence. The claim also reads a Biden-era/DOJ-era federal role into the removal case, which the sources do not show.Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Department of Justice changed its position on the Tina Peters litigation in Colorado after January 20, 2025.Said by BThe claim departs from the passage: the speaker says the DOJ's position changed before January 20, 2025, while the extracted claim says after January 20, 2025, so it is not graded as the poster's statement. On the sources alone, the DOJ's public shift to backing Peters appears in filings from early 2025, after January 20.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Postal Service received more comments on its proposed rules than on any rule in its history.None of the sources report how many comments the USPS received on its mail-ballot proposed rule or compare that count with any other rule in the agency's history, so the superlative is neither confirmed nor refuted. The claimant's own passage cannot corroborate it, and the sources that cover the rule (Snopes, AP, Reuters) do not contradict it.Can’t tell35% confidence8 sourcesSep 16, 2026Judge Tawani issued a formal preliminary injunction eight days after the temporary restraining order.Said by CThe sources confirm a 14-day temporary restraining order granted on August 27, 2026 in the new USPS rule cases, but none reports a formal preliminary injunction issued eight days later (about September 4). The only preliminary injunction in the record was Judge Talwani's August 11 order, which came before the TRO, so the claimed sequence is not supported.Can’t tell30% confidence4 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Wisconsin Election Commission advised election officials to continue preparing for mail voting.Said by CNone of the provided sources reports the Wisconsin Election Commission advising election officials to continue preparing for mail voting as of 2026-09-16. Reuters (2026-09-15) describes election officials preparing for disruptions from the federal mail-voting plan, and the Wisconsin Commission's later guidance (Oct 2026) concerns absentee deadlines and clerk instructions, which are nearby but different. The claim is not contradicted, so it cannot be graded either way.Can’t tell50% confidence4 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) is under federal investigation.Sources show that DHS Secretary Mullin asked the Justice Department in early September 2026 to investigate CEIR under the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, and CEIR denied the allegations. No source confirms that DOJ actually opened an investigation of CEIR as of 2026-09-16, so the claim's central assertion is neither confirmed nor contradicted.
