Mixed60% confidence5 sourcesOct 26, 2026There were 140 million votes cast in the 2024 U.S. election.The official record puts 2024 presidential votes at about 155 million (Full Fact and CFR cite 155,238,302 and 156,302,318), so 140 million understates the total by roughly 10%. PBS's 'more than 140 million' is literally consistent with the record, and the Census CPS estimate (about 149.5 million) also exceeds 140 million, so the figure depends on the measure used.Mixed50% confidence6 sourcesOct 26, 2026The Justice Department has brought 64 cases involving non-citizen voting.Said by CThe 64 figure matches NPR's count of 64 DOJ noncitizen-voting cases and Fox News's figure of 64 defendants charged in roughly the last five weeks, so the number is sourced. However, other DOJ-attributed totals in the sources are larger (104 charged since 2025, 112 to 113 people), so whether 64 is correct depends on whether the measure is recent cases or the cumulative total. The extraction faithfully reflects the post's 'these 64 cases'.Mixed60% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026The Republican governor of Wyoming stated that DOJ monitors were aggressive and disregarded state election law during the 2026 primaries.Said by BThe governor's statement that DOJ monitors were 'aggressive' and 'irregular' is well supported by multiple tier-1 and tier-2 sources. However, the sources attribute the 'complete disregard for our state laws' language to Laramie County Clerk Debra Lee, while Gov. Gordon said the monitors' behavior 'seemed to exceed what the authority that Congress had given them was,' so the claim that the governor said they disregarded state election law is not supported.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True90% confidence10 sourcesOct 26, 2026Pam Bondi is the Attorney General of the United States.Said by CPam Bondi is identified as the Attorney General of the United States in the provided search results, with information indicating her nomination by President-elect Donald Trump and swearing-in in early 2025.True90% confidence5 sourcesOct 26, 2026Mark Wayne Mullen is the Homeland Security Secretary.Said by BThe sources show Markwayne Mullin (spelled "Mullen" in the claim and in his own White House transcript) was confirmed and sworn in as Homeland Security Secretary on March 24, 2026, and was still in the role on the 2026-10-26 posting date. The claim's spelling of the surname differs from the official spelling, but it refers to the same person, so this is a name-variant issue rather than a substantive error.True92% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026The Department of Justice is sending 1,000 election monitors to polling places in 2026.Said by BMultiple tier-1 sources on or before 2026-10-26 report that the DOJ planned to deploy about 1,000 election monitors for the 2026 midterms, which matches the claim. The sources describe this as a plan, and Reuters and AP both say the DOJ spokesperson confirmed it, so the claim holds as of the posting date.True90% confidence8 sourcesOct 26, 2026Donald Trump stated that he ordered the Department of Justice to file the lawsuit regarding the Alaska election.Said by AMultiple tier1 and tier2 sources (AP, The Hill, Politico, NBC, PBS, USA Today) report that Trump said Friday he directed the Justice Department to file the lawsuit over the Alaska Senate election, quoting him as saying "I'm the one that said do it." The claim matches the post's content and the sources; the filing date (Oct. 22) and the lawsuit's later dismissal by a federal judge do not make the claim false as of when it was made.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True93% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026The U.S. Justice Department delivered a thumb drive containing a list of 20,000 names to Los Angeles County election officials with a 48-hour deadline to investigate them.Said by BMultiple tier-1 sources confirm the core of the claim: the Justice Department delivered a password-protected thumb drive with a list of about 20,000 names to Los Angeles County election officials and gave California a 48-hour deadline to review it or face legal action. The sources dispute whether the list is reliable, but that does not bear on whether the delivery and deadline happened, and the claim's timing matches the reporting.True90% confidence5 sourcesOct 26, 2026The U.S. Justice Department sued the State of California and Los Angeles County to segregate ballots associated with 20,000 individuals identified as likely non-citizens.Said by BThe sources confirm the DOJ sued California and Los Angeles County over about 20,000 voters it says are likely non-citizens, and sought to segregate or withhold their ballots until citizenship is verified. The claim matches the post's wording, and the post's remarks about a 48-hour deadline and the court fight are consistent with the sources.True75% confidence6 sourcesOct 26, 2026The U.S. Justice Department has charged more than 113 alleged non-citizens with voting offenses across the country.Said by CAs of October 19, 2026, the Justice Department said it had charged 113 people in 20 states with illegal voting and registration offenses over the prior seven weeks, which supports the claim's central figure and scope. The claim's 'more than 113' is a slight overstatement of the exact figure reported, and one DOJ spokesperson cited 112, but the difference is within rounding and does not change the verdict.True93% confidence6 sourcesOct 26, 2026Trent McCotter is the acting number two official at the U.S. Justice Department.Said by CMultiple sources, including a DOJ staff profile and AP coverage from October 19, 2026, identify Trent McCotter as Acting Deputy Attorney General, the Justice Department's number two official, as of the 2026-10-26 posting date. The extracted claim matches the passage's wording and no source contradicts it.True60% confidence5 sourcesOct 26, 2026Vicky Bratt, a UK citizen, voted early in person in 2024 after registering through the New York DMV.Said by CThe DOJ press release (primary) charges a British national named Vikki Bradt, a lawful permanent resident, with voting by an alien in a federal election, which matches the post's account of a UK citizen who voted in 2024; the name spelling differs (Bratt vs Bradt), but NPR's transcript and the DOJ release both use Bradt, so this looks like a transcription error. The early in-person voting and NY DMV registration appear only in the NPR transcript, which repeats the claimant's account and is not independent corroboration, and no source contradicts them. The charges are allegations, not established findings.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.
