Fact check: Almost every single one of Trump’s debate claims about mail-in voting was wrong

CNN  

CNN — President Donald Trump lied about a wide variety of topics – including health care, the economy and the coronavirus pandemic – during Tuesday’s presidential debate. It’s a fraud, and it’s a shame.” Facts First: Trump was vague here about what he meant by “losing” and “it’s a fraud,” but there are no recent examples of 30% or 40% of ballots in an election getting lost or being deemed fraudulent. Creeks and rivers Trump said of ballots: “They found ‘em in creeks.” He also said, “They’re being dumped in rivers.” Facts First: We could not find any examples of 2020 ballots being found in “creeks” or “dumped in rivers.” Trump might have been referring to a Wisconsin case in which three trays of mail that were supposed to be headed to the local post office were found on the side of the road and in a ditch off of Highway 96 in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, according to the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office, local TV station WBAY reported. The officials called this an “error” and said the fact that it was quickly noticed and investigated proves that “the system of checks and balances set forth in Pennsylvania elections works.” People briefed on the matter told CNN that federal investigators are not treating the incident as intentional fraud but rather as something that occurred because of poorly designed procedures for handling mail-in ballots, and because newly hired election workers weren’t properly trained. Election results Complaining of ballots being accepted after Election Day, Trump said a state that allowed ballots to come in until November 10 would mean ballots were arriving “seven days after the election in theory should have been announced.” Facts First: This is misleading.
