Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Does a video show someone burning ballots with votes for Trump? No. Did Michigan ‘magically’ find 138,339 votes for Joe Biden? Nope. What about Wisconsin? Did voter turnout exceed the number of registered voters in the state? A thousand times no. But tight vote counts in battleground states have laid the perfect groundwork for election disinformation to explode online over the past few days. As Steve points out, some bad actors on social media and cable news simply “don’t care whether what they’re saying is actually true.” But not to worry, Dispatch fact checkers Alec Dent and Khaya Himmelman—along with staff writer Andrew Egger—join the podcast today to debunk conspiracy theories surrounding election fraud so you don’t have to.

Oh. Dispatch Fact-Checkers.
Trustworthy lot.
Does this episode need the Jack treatment?
And for the uncurious . . . (that would be you folks at The Dispatch) . . . here is a very long and well-compiled list.
Please put your useless fact-checkers to work on that.
(That post linked above is just more evidence that the proles on Ricochet are far more able, informed, and honest than The Dispatch could ever be.)
I suspect that their own site comments are filled with praise. So what?
Who gave you authorization to produce independent thought?
a few facts:
More than 100,000 absentee ballots in Pennsylvania have questionable return dates.
Nearly 35,000 ballots were returned on the same day they were mailed out.
23,000 have an impossible return date — it is earlier than the ‘sent date.’
More than 9,000 have no sent date.
More than 100,000 absentee ballots in Pennsylvania have unlikely or impossible return dates, based on a researcher’s analysis of the state’s voter database.
Over 51,000 ballots were marked as returned just a day after they were sent out—an extraordinary speed, given U.S. Postal Service (USPS) delivery times, while nearly 35,000 were returned on the same day they were mailed out. Another more than 23,000 have an impossible return date—earlier than the sent date.
