Fact check: President Trump falsely claimed there were more votes than people in the city of Detroit. There are 670,000 people living in Detroit, according to most recent US Census Bureau estimate, and the city says that 250,138 ballots were cast there.

The tweets come amid a broader effort by the president and his allies to discredit the 2020 election results.

On Wednesday, the campaign announced that it would spend $3 million to pay for a partial recount effort in Wisconsin, claiming without evidence that there was widespread voter fraud and illegal election administration. In Pennsylvania, a federal judge said Wednesday that he was canceling an evidentiary hearing scheduled for Thursday, signaling that he is likely to dismiss the president's case, which brought former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani back in federal court as an attorney Tuesday

Broadly, the president and his allies have yet to prove even one case of voter fraud in court. So far, at least 16 suits have been denied, dismissed, settled or withdrawn — half in the last five days.

I don't trust NBC Fake News to fact check anything.

LyleLong13 Yes, we all will believe Detroit when it comes to voter disenfranchisement🤢 count only legal votes!

LiarInChief

He said more people voted than were registered. Fake news.

Trump can't help it his highly intellectual brain cant count is all.

Trump's a lying loser of a carnival-barker! He was kicked out! never again a Trump in politics! he will be removed again& again! Trump has gutted America my birth country of its greatness& beauty!

He's a Serial liar...you don't have to convince us!

Check the basis of the claim. Was it a particular county referred to or what? Was it democrat voters referred to (as the total exceeded) or the total population of a smaller district? We need to fact-check the 'fact-checkers'.

There's a word, rhymes with pies....

Trump said, there are more votes, than REGISTERED VOTERS. HE'S CORRECT. BUT, NBC is lying about what he actually said. FAKE NEWS AS USUAL.

Trump thinks only Detroit comprises Wayne county.

Trump lied again?!?!? It must be a day

Trump and maths are incompatible

How many registered voters? Or are you just dodging facts with pseudo clever antics?

FAKE NEWS. He said more votes than registered voters. Not more votes than the population.

Donald has never let the facts get in the way of a good story. I will never understand why so many people flock to Donald and just glow whenever he starts making shit up on the fly. If the lie sticks or makes people laugh he’ll use the same lie for years with no remorse.

The mad anarchist actually induces the media to work on facts. After Jan, he must be put in jail.

Yea but how many of those are voting age? This post is like saying '90% of Americans agree with us, see this poll!' Yet only 500 people or 1,000 people were polled

His idiots aren’t reading this. They blocked you in 2016. Just tell it like it is. He’s insane

An inept coup attempt is still a coup attempt. Arrest the trump plotters.

Fact check this while in the business of honestly fact checking 👇🏼 Floyd County fired its embattled election chief three days after a hand recount of the election in Georgia's closely watched election audit turned up 2,600 previously uncounted votes.

No shit, Trump lies

Wait, so realDonaldTrump made another false claim? Shocking! Actually, if he made a claim that was true now that would be shocking. Donnie is a complete fool!

Gosh, do you think tRump was lying? Golly!

670 000 registered voters then

1.7 million in wayne county, just saying.

Outra fake News de vocês Trump tem razão VAI verificar o diabo no inferno

It's over. Trump lost the election. That’s a fact. The only reason Trump sticks to his office is that he is afraid of all the lawsuits that await him after he leaves office.

Trump, Pence and Mafia boss Giuliani for prison 2020

Donald 'Bogus' trump

He’s a little man! TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

Enough with “fact check”. Just say Trump lies again. And so does Giuliani. And the GOP.

HuG0 ChAVezz lmao

Every single thing Trump and Rudy have claimed has been false. They’re on a lying spree of insane proportions

Trump needs zero more press attention.

He “falsely claims” a lot.

tHe cItY sAyS

No way can they keep this up. It's over. The republicans can just plain go fukk themselves.

Shocking. Our president lied. Who knew...

Math is not DT’s strength.

Its not jus the trump supporters who wont concede. They shouldnt.There seems to be a lot of shennanigans. It would be great if the media worked together for this country instead of pitting us against eachother.

Ummmmm yo dumb ass close voting sites and removed mail boxes they had to vote somewhere !!!

Resisters, time to have an email campaign on two subjects. Covid and Trump’s obstruction of transition to lawfully elected president. I email my governor and co exec on covid and congresswoman on Trump. Please retweet.

Move votes than registered voters. Get the story straight.

Why is attention given to any utterance of Trump? It just serves to bolster his continued insane, childish behavior begging for attention..any. He needs something he's never known, mommy/daddy telling him to knock it off; his childhood sorely neglected, void of consequences Pity

I think the rest of the country has moved on. You should too. Done with your TDS BS.

NBC news run by Brennan. It’s a fact. Look it up. Mockingbird.

Wait, are you implying that President Trump would intentionally tell a lie?

small1ldy1 Counting is not a trump long suit. Then again, nothing else is, either.

northernstar171 We really don’t need fact Checks or evidence to know when he’s lying, Trumps mouth moving is more than enough

realDonaldTrump math is hard, we know. And you were a horrible student, this we also know. Let someone qualified do the heavy lifting now... you must be tired from all the thinking.

FACT CHECK THE FACT CHECKERS: There are more voters than registered voters.

There is so much corruption in that state Detroit will never be the great City it was.

Let's try to accept defeat if not this world will remain a battle

We no longer need you to fact check him or report on him. He lies. We got it and voted him out. Please report on President elect Biden’s COVID team and any governors or mayors who are instituting policies to lower cases. Quit giving trump any news coverage.

Pretty amazing 1 of 3 are old enough to vote

Trump is a purveyor of untruths, innit he?

reluctantzealot proves he can't do math

mynbc15 More trump lies, why he’s leaving

Registered voters in certain counties 😂 how predictable from the media!

Anything that comes out of the TRUMP is bogus!!

In all the Trump Gobbledygook the media has totally forgotten to remind Trump that he promised a post election stimulus bill passage. As he spends millions on vote recounts. People are suffering & dying by the Thousands. Do your job.

Don't come at them with facts 😂

Do you expect Donald Trump to ever tell the truth?

What happened to the 'explosive' evidence Giuliani & Powell claimed to have on the Dominion software? It's been 3-5 days since making this assertion. Where's the court filing for this evidence to be presented? She claims to be bombarded with info. Time to prove it, or step aside.

BOGUS is the right word for sure

How could this person lead anything, when the only thing they believe is their own ideas and ignores the facts unless it is in their favor?

It was probably dead people

At the end of the day, you will lose. There’s so much there you are “aware”. You looking the other wAy. the left way!

Donnie breathes, Donnie tries to spread lies.

He knows his dumbass supporters will just believe him and not actually check

Trump lies

MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople has been fact checked.

The reason for Trump's decision to end the census early is coming into light. If people weren't able to be counted then they don't exist. We're seeing his game plan in action.

SusanHenshaw50 You can't blame the guy who paid someone to take his SAT for not understanding simple mathematics

It seems there’s plenty to hide.

More votes than registered voters

When Trump was told 670,000 people lived in Detroit, Trump replies saying, 'well, that's just 402,000 people' jk

That's OK! Trump supporters are entitled to there opinions. The facts still remain the same tho.😊BidenHarris2020

Twitter needs to shut him down. I deleted my Facebook because of it’s lies & hate spread on it. If I call someone a name on twitter I get a time out with warnings that my account will be closed. Trump has gone overboard. 🤯🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Too late, all his uneducated supporters have seen it. And will believe him.

People or legal registered voters. .. You lied to me about Russian collusion for 2 1/2 years so can't assume what you tell me is the truth.

He should check all cities in the 57 states 🤣🤣

That’s not what he said. If you’re going to fact check you should do it correctly

CREDIBILITY CHECK==== NBC fails check.

'When PEOPLE can't COMPETE they CHEAT' (TRAINAISM) 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER - AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION

He meant there were more votes than ppl registered to vote 🙄 doesn’t matter the population if they never registered to vote

How many people were registered voters? The fraud is obvious and massive. The media needs to stop running cover for the Democrat criminals

I don’t believe anything you people at NBC say all you do is lie

The United States and the world need: a great president who can fight for American citizens, faith and justice. (Those hypocrites will accept God's great punishment.) May God greatly bless the wisdom of American citizens! Bless America! 🙏🙏

Would you believe:Biden’s margin of victory in this batch of votes (99.9%) bested Bashar al-Assad’s 2007 margin (97.6%) and Raul Castro’s 2008 margin (99.4%). It matched Kim Jong-il’s 2009 margin (99.9%).

It’s not about ballot you $tupid. It’s about total votes.

Yet 70 million thought he's the right guy to lead us. Will never understand it

Keep on putting our President down ,we will see you soon ,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Normally when people say that It refers to registered voters

Lies, lies, lies. The worst POS president in history. He will pay. 💩 🕛 Tic Toc

IGNORE TRUMP CHALLENGE He gets a kick out of everybody commenting whether it’s positive or negative. Here’s the challenge. Let’s all stop. No comments ect... ignoretrump WeThePeople trumpchallenge. How many days can we ignore him? Starts November 19........

Yet, another desperate lie...

More news about voting.

So there are 670k living n Detroit. How many are registered voters? We’re there more votes than people registered? That seems like the more viable argument.

Someone needs to fact check you guys. Over 860,000 votes counted in Detroit according to Detroit News. I don’t know registered voters. You’ll probably change ur answer and say 860.000. Lol. Dumb news station.

Multiple data sources point to a stolen election. There's evidence everywhere if you're willing to look for it. Just more facts ignored by the corrupt liberal media. When this all comes to light, how will you explain yourselves ?

These numbers really weren't hard to find, realDonaldTrump and his supporters just ignore the facts. It really is that he just thinks too many people of color showed up to vote.

He is a complete idiot that lies constantly, all his followers still believe they have been robbed, Obama hit the nail when he recently said politicians use to be in serious trouble if they lied or made false statements but now it’s almost acceptable because of Trump..

GaryGrumbach End this Bullshit and his lies!

If there's no fraud, what are you afraid of ? No transparency, no president.

Well, another voter fraud accusation which can easily be proven true or false. I wonder what will be the next accusation.

It's easier and less stressful just to assume that every word that comes out of his mouth or fingers is a lie.

No way more lies from Trump lol

...than registered voters

Detroit the auto city was bankrupted by politician like Joe Biden outsourcing millions of jobs for decades. Trump reopened 16 manufacturers over there they are still for Biden really, it seems Detroit is happy to be the worst and most unlivable city in America

Bogus winner goes to trump

No point fact checking ....his lips move and his mouth spews lies.

Trump breath and jo over his own lies. Not a fact in his it’s bity thing. He knows he has mind control over space brain supporters. They can’t read,count or do without his lies. They will believe him but the Courts won’t

This not being censored by Twitter 🤭

The truth shall never pass through the lips of Donald trump!

How many registered voters?

Facts are facts!!!!

He’s never been one to let facts stand in the way....

How many registered voters?

Ha ha NBC ounce again is proven to be bias liars and ounce again trump is right. Maybe for ounce your leftist American haters should listen to the president instead of looking for reason to hate or twist facts for your own intrest.

realDonaldTrump now boring us trying to tamper with Peacefull transition the United States of America has always have election aftermath. We don't want that character like former Zimbabwean or Malawian president who lost election and said they won.

how many registerred voters of the 670,000?

Republicans need to put a stop to Trump’s insanity. He lost! It is time for him to suck it up & move on. People are tired of his whining every single day. Does he not realize It is no longer about him, it is about the 250,300 dead people & their families.

NBC YOU ARE FAKE NEWS

Not so good with math, is heTrumpIsALaughingStock

He just can’t stop lying and playing victim. Stop giving him attention

...Says NBC News, the Democratic Party Puppet mouth piece.

So, Trump was lying.... again.

Wait 400k didn’t vote, jk I appreciate all those who did.

FDT

Do the math you knucklehead!

How many of those people are legal to vote let alone usa citzens , sick of the trash trump at all cost game .

He should have specified- abled voters. Illegals, felons, children, and the dead weren’t included in his count.

Show each county please, fake news.

Trump’s a pathological liar.

Does ANYONE see ANYTHING NEW here from the president? Please stand to be counted. Once this president is out of office I sincerely hope that Americans will remember all of the lies and BS that came from his mouth and the millions he made for his businesses.

He is such an idiot. Why is he still here?

I don't think he can count past like 100

The new math.. if you didn't vote for Trump you don't exist.

NBC, when’s the last time you had an investigative reporter who is not a liberal activist?

We already know he be lying

How many of the 670k are kids below 18?

JackMCarey1 So Black Lives Don't Matter to him...

Come on NBC!! How many are under age, how many are registered to vote NBC always wrong and always lying!!!

It’s registered voters dummies!

CrumsRevenge As usual NBC you can't even get the basics right of what he ACTUALLY SAID. LIVING AND REGISTERED VOTERS.... NOT THE SAME.

Everyone knows that Trump is corrupt and a chronic liar!

Whoever knew math could be so hard?

really very close 😂

realDonaldTrump once again YOU LIE. Is there no end to you It's OVER. You LOST. CONCEDE. GET ON WITH TRANSITION OR GET OUT OF THE WAY. PACK AND GO. UHAUL IS AFFORDABLE

This is lazy. How many voting-age residents? How many voting-eligible residents? You’re still going to get to say realDonaldTrump is wrong. But please provide the relevant facts.

America with no direction to go . Going in circles chasing a tail that's not there . Trump is a absolutely a bad terrible joke .

There should only be “breaking news” alerts when Trump tells the truth; that way there would never be any “breaking news”

Fact check going to be short of business post Trump Admin.

wow dip wad

So many lies, so little time!

Trump keeps lying to Trumpers, so that donations keep pouring in, after all he has 400 million personal debt to cover. It’s only fair: he wants their last $.

more continued lying from Trump to play to his base which believes everything out of his mouth. This kind of misinformation and false statement are way below the Office of the President.

Take this guy out of White House now. AMERICA FIRST 🇺🇸

As a constitutional originalist, Trump is dead wrong here. 3/5 of 670,000 Black People is 402,000 votes, so..... ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

What about the weight race feature 🥱

More bullshit from

More people voted than registered voters and NBC knows it but they aren’t news they’re propaganda.

Has he won ANY lawsuits yet?

Are there 670k registered voters? I mean the population of the uk is 65M+ but that includes everyone babies, toddlers, kids etc..If that number is accurate then Trump is way off with that tweet. So can you clarify?
