The election is still five days away, and this is a non-exhaustive list of all the viral election fraud claims (with millions of views) that have already turned out to be total bunk, despite going mega viral: 1. Hundreds of voters all registered at one address in PA (turned out to be nuns living at a monastery) 2. 150,000 excess voters in Michigan (someone misreading a QVF + a glitch recording historical addresse) 3. Video of haitian migrants saying they were getting IDs + registered to vote within days of being flown to U.S. (actual hoax video and maybe Russian disinfo, according to GA Republicans) 4. Trump's name not on California ballot (Cali randomizes its ballots and someone got Trump on page 2) 5. Random person from Rhode Island delivering hundreds of ballots in Pennsylvania (turned out to be a postmaster doing his job) 6. Hundreds of people all registered at one address in PA (turns out it was a homeless shelter in Harrisburg, all legal voters) 7. Voters being denied in Pennsylvania before polls closed (not fraud, but a mistake by a polling station; judge extended early voting) 8. Claims Michigan has "more people eligible to vote than registered voters" (a bunch of people literally misunderstanding how Michigan maintains its voter rolls) 9. People claiming they can print ballots at fake addresses in Washington state (your ballot would never be counted if you tried to submit it from a fake address, also couldn't re-create the claim) 10. Labour Party leader committing election interference by asking for volunteers to come to the U.S. to canvass (unseemly, yes; but legal, unless she was actually paying people) There have also been a ton of recycled claims from 2020: Two election workers curing a ballot and people claiming they were filling out ballots (debunked four years ago, poll watchers present in full video). Claims machines were flipping votes in Georgia for Democrats (actual video shows double-scanned voters for REPUBLICANS and does not prove these votes were counted twice). Etc. Also, there have been some legit issues, too! Which is why I always look into things with an open mind. In Lancaster County, an investigation is underway over what appears to be a fraudulent *registration* push (these people did NOT vote). In Michigan, a Chinese student and non-U.S. citizen admitted to voting, and the state is saying they can't "undo" their vote. The QVF issue in Michigan did, at least, appear to include some kind of data error. And in Bucks County, PA, poll workers were wrong to turn people away at 4:30 despite long lines (though Bucks is NOT a conservative county - it was won by Obama (2x), Clinton, and Biden - so the idea this was intended to harm Republicans is self-evidently silly). Again: It is November 1. The election isn't even here yet. There is so much terrible information out there - and about HALF of these have been elevated/shared by this platform's owner, @elonmusk, which is really concerning. Community Notes are coming way too late, and most of these are racking up millions of views. I am trying my best to fight the bad info with good info (please share this) but it's not easy. We will get real, actual fraud in this election. It's a big country and we always do. But 99% of these claims are bunk. So please: Share with caution. Stay skeptical. Don't trust everything you find online. And, of course, follow along. I'm tracking and updating all of these claims in this thread, and if you want something checked you can send it to me: xitter.cf/Ike_Saul/status/184725…

We shouldn't listen to people because we agree with what they think. We should listen when we're impressed by how they think. Intellectual loyalty is defending strong convictions. Intellectual integrity is being convinced by strong arguments. A key to growth is being willing to change our minds. @waitbutwhy waitbutwhy.com
