Rumors We've Fact-Checked About Voting, Results of 2024 Election

On Election Day 2024, Snopes was hard at work fact-checking election rumors that spread online. This work continued in the days after the election as claims kept spreading, such as whether all votes were counted on election night before 2020 (false).

Since the election, we've also fact-checked claims that have spread related to election results. These include claims such as whether Vice President Kamala Harris won only states that didn't require voter identification, as well as whether actress Sydney Sweeney voted for President-elect Donald Trump (false). Web producer/production editor Izz Scott LaMagdeleine rounded up these fact-checks in one collection for your ease.
