Voter fraud has been found at multiple levels and all you have ti do is a quick search. The reality is the liberal left needs voter fraud toi continue and illegals to vote to retain what power they have. Fortunately, the majority are waking up to the liberals play book.","uri":"https://www.threads.com/@houghjj83/post/DY-KsP5mhNx","authorHandle":"houghjj83"},"verdict":{"verdict":"Misleading","confidence":85,"summary":"The post exaggerates isolated, rare instances of voter fraud into a claim of widespread, systemic fraud and falsely asserts that illegal noncitizen voting is a significant tool used by Democrats to retain power. Extensive research, official election audits, and even conservative databases consistently show that voter fraud is exceedingly rare and noncitizen voting is virtually nonexistent at a scale that could impact elections.","claims":[{"claim":"Voter fraud has been found at multiple levels","assessment":"While isolated cases of voter fraud (such as absentee ballot misuse or double voting) do occur and are prosecuted, the phrasing implies systemic or widespread fraud. Multiple nonpartisan studies, academic research, and election officials consistently confirm that voter fraud is infinitesimally rare and has never been shown to affect the outcome of a U.S. election."},{"claim":"The liberal left needs voter fraud to continue and illegals to vote to retain what power they have","assessment":"The factual premise that illegal/noncitizen voting is widespread enough to sway elections or benefit a specific party is false. A Bipartisan Policy Center analysis of the Heritage Foundation's own election fraud database found only 77 instances of noncitizen voting nationwide between 1999 and 2023. A 2024 Georgia state review found just 20 registered noncitizens out of 8.2 million voters (0.0002%). Federal law strictly prohibits noncitizen voting, and enforcement mechanisms make large-scale illegal voting practically impossible."},{"claim":"The majority are waking up to the liberals play book","assessment":"This is an unverifiable political opinion. While polling shows a partisan divide in perceptions of election integrity (with Republicans more likely to express concern about fraud), there is no evidence that a majority of Americans believe in a coordinated liberal voter fraud strategy."}],"caveats":"Isolated, individual cases of voter fraud do occur and are documented by organizations across the political spectrum, but these cases are statistically negligible compared to the hundreds of millions of ballots cast. The post's claims conflate these rare, prosecuted incidents with a nonexistent systemic problem.","sources":[{"title":"How widespread is election fraud in the United States?
