FACT CHECKS This series will focus upon fact checks done by recognized and reputable sources AP Fact Check TRUMP: “People should be happy to have an accurate count... We have other states I believe will be flipping to us shortly.” THE FACTS: No reversal of the election outcome is in the offing, in Georgia or other states.

Trump’s former attorney general, William Barr, found no evidence of widespread election fraud. Trump’s allegations of massive voting fraud have been dismissed by a succession of judges and refuted by state election officials and an arm of his own administration’s Homeland Security Department. https://apnews.com/article/ap-fact-check-donald-trump-georgia-elections-electoral-college-407d934b6649a4e4059ec28c4cb70512?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AP%20Morning%20Wire&utm_term=Morning%20Wire%20Subscribers
