Mixed60% confidence7 sourcesOct 23, 2026A D.C. Circuit judge ruled against the premise of the DOJ's order to obtain unredacted voter rolls earlier this month.The core assertion holds: on October 9, 2026, a D.C. federal judge (Sparkle Sooknanan) ruled DOJ's voter-roll policy unlawful and vacated it, which is earlier in the same month as the October 23 post. However, the ruling came from the U.S. District Court for D.C., not the D.C. Circuit, so the claim's court identification is contradicted by the sources.Mixed55% confidence7 sourcesOct 23, 2026Republican Governor Greg Abbott has a four or five point lead over his Democratic challenger in Texas.Said by BSeveral polls released around the claim date show Abbott leading by four or five points (ActiVote 5.0 from Oct 21, Emerson 49-45 released Oct 22, Marist 49-45 among likely voters from Oct 8-11), but other polls show leads of about 1 to 3 points (TPOR 3 released Oct 23, ReconMR 1 from Oct 13). The claimed four-to-five-point lead falls within the competing estimates rather than matching the full range, so the claim is partly supported.Mixed55% confidence9 sourcesOct 23, 2026Support for the GOP from rural voters is down 14 points and support from Latinos is down 12 points.Said by CThe rural figure (63% to 49%, down 14 points) and the Latino figure (43% to 31%, down 12 points) match a Fox News poll as reported in the sources, and nothing contradicts them. However, other polls put the Latino decline in a range of roughly 10 to 20 points depending on the measure (Trump-voter support, Democratic margin, or net favorability), so the 12-point figure depends on which measure is used. As of 2026-10-23, the figures are supported as reported, but the Latino figure is one of several competing estimates.Mixed60% confidence5 sourcesOct 23, 2026Amish Shah voted twice for tax credits that brought data centers to Arizona while serving in the Arizona House of Representatives.Said by 2FThe record supports that Shah voted twice (Feb 24 and Apr 14, 2021) for HB 2649, which extended Arizona's data center tax incentive. It contradicts the causal framing that these votes brought data centers to Arizona: the incentive dates to 2013, and sources say the 2021 law did not decide where data centers could be built.Mixed50% confidence7 sourcesOct 23, 2026The price of an item costing $100 in 2021 has increased by 27% to $127, with $21 of that increase occurring under the Biden administration.Said by 2FThe $21-of-$27 Biden/Trump split and a 27% cumulative rise match one unrated Jan-2021-base analysis (source 9), but the inflation calculators using a 2021 annual-average base show about 24-25%, and factcheck.org's BLS figures give a different Trump-period share. The claim's 27% figure therefore holds on one measure and base but not another, and the post's wording tracks the first.Mixed50% confidence5 sourcesOct 23, 2026Over 70 million people took advantage of the Working Families Tax Cut.Said by 2FThe claim's 70 million figure is not stated directly by any authoritative source, and the sources give measures on both sides of it. Treasury says 97% of filers got a tax cut from the Working Families Tax Cuts (about 110 million refunds were issued), which would exceed 70 million. Daily Kos, a tier3 source, reports over 67 million filers claimed at least one break, which falls short. The claim is a faithful extraction of the post's statement.
