Because of human error, The Associated Press briefly provided incorrect election results to news outlets in the Georgia U.S. Senate runoff. It’s not evidence of election fraud.
U.S. tax dollars sent to help Ukraine were laundered back by cryptocurrency firm FTX to help Democrats in midterms.These posts were flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. The post is wrong that Warnock’s vote count increases as Walker’s drops. In the clip, it at first looks as if Warnock has 1,422,652 votes, or 50.3%. Then it changes to 1,429,004, or 50.2%, and then back to 1,422,652 votes and 50.3%.
The mistake was quickly corrected, but it became fodder for false allegations of election fraud. We previously fact-checked a similar claim that a fluctuating vote count on an NPR-affiliate’s website is evidence of fraud. The news outlet also received its election results from The Associated Press. It was human error then, and it’s human error now.
on the Georgia secretary of state’s website show Warnock won the election with 1,816,096 votes, or 51.37%.
