PHOENIX (AP) — Former President Donald Trump issued three statements in two days falsely claiming that voting fraud and irregularities cost him Arizona's electoral votes....
TRUMP: “168,000 fraudulent ballots printed on illegal paper (unofficial ballots)”
THE FACTS: All of that is false. The ballots were not unofficial or printed on illegal paper, and even Logan never alleged they were fraudulent....
TRUMP, citing “74,000 mail in ballots received that were never mailed (magically appearing ballots)."
THE FACTS: No, there were no magically appearing ballots. He is alleging that the number of filled-out ballots received in the mail by election officials exceeded the number of people who had asked earlier for mail-in ballots, by 74,000. But that's not at all what happened.....
TRUMP, claiming “11,000 voters were added to the voter rolls AFTER the election and still voted."
THE FACTS: There's nothing untoward about voters rolls growing after Election Day. The rolls are simply updated to reflect people whose provisional ballots are added to the tally after election officials verify that they were eligible to vote....
TRUMP, alleging “all the access logs to the machines were wiped, and the election server was hacked during the election.”
THE FACTS: That flies in the face of the evidence. Maricopa County's election server is not connected to the internet and independent auditors found no evidence the election server was hacked.....
TRUMP: “Arizona shows Fraud and Voting Irregularities many times more than would be needed to change the outcome of the Election.”
THE FACTS: Not so. The number of potential fraud cases is far smaller than President Joe Biden's margin of victory in Arizona.

Difficult to verify the server connections when the county refused to hand over the routers, something the AP neglected to mention.
Does anyone care about fact checkers at the AP?
AP = All Propaganda
The secret deal the Associated Press made with the Nazis during WWII
"U.S. counterintelligence agents unaware of the approval found “definite proof” that the AP was “engaged in operations coming within the purview of the Trading with the Enemy Act,” according to a document referenced in AP’s report. The case wasn’t pursued."
A(merican) P(ravda)
who fact checks the fact checkers.... No one can believe these politically biased and democrat owned so called fact checkers as well as MSM fake news. They all believe what ever Fauci says each time he says the opposite of what he said yesterday.
“THE FACTS: All of that is false.”
Well, I guess that settles it, then.
If only I were as smart as AP, I could see the world with such wonderful clarity. I think I used to, back when I was about 6 years old.
Was there not public testimony last week about these irregularities...?
Who is fact checking the AP...?
Rebuttal with no backup...?
Just nothing to see here...probably written by Raggedy Psaki...?
Given the ownership and its corporate leadership that’s a given....

I may have to borrow that one
AP does their “fact checking” without evidence. Trump has seen the evidence, along with many who do not rely on AP for truthful information. In short, AP is misinformation at its finest.
LOL 😀😆😂
Am I mistaken, or did the AP allege for 2-1/2 years that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the election?
“The ‘forensic audit,’ as Senate GOP leaders are calling their review, is overseen by Cyber Ninjas, a small computer security firm with no election experience before Trump began questioning the 2020 results. Its CEO, Doug Logan, spread false conspiracy theories about the election before he was hired to lead the Arizona review.”
I wonder if Logan would be in the position of suing AP and other INGSOC media outlets for defamation if they keep making petty remarks like these?
We had Republicans telling us we needed to accept the results of the election!
The beauty of the AZ audit is that has been conducted with foresight and protocols to insure the results can, and will, hold up in court. Truth belongs to those who seek it, not those who sit on the sidelines and heckle the truth-seekers.
Theyll be a lot of fact checking coming up for the AP when the actual audit findings are officially released. If they choose to die on a hill such as this for Biden ….. the media will just become even more irrelevant
I smell extreme flop-sweat coming from the AP.
AP has lost any credibility they had at one time.
The AP makes false claims against President Trump.
