If you see your Facebook feed flooded with hyped-up stories of alleged anti-Trump “voter fraud,” you should take them all with a massive grain of salt.

The reason for this is simple: The alleged voter fraud scare stories are bunk. Throughout this week, we’ve seen examples of Trump fans on the web trying to prove a massive voter fraud conspiracy with a series of anecdotes that completely fall apart upon closer inspection.

The most infamous example of this came from Donald Trump himself tweeting about a woman in Tarrant County, Texas who claimed that her voting machine flipped her vote from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton.

However, Tarrant County Elections Administrator Frank Phillips told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram earlier this week that he investigated the woman’s complaint and found that it was her own mistake that made her vote flip from Trump to Clinton. “Our investigations have indicated that the voter did not follow the directions for straight-party voting when they inadvertently click the ‘enter’ button or turn the wheel, causing the change in votes,” he said. “Further, in each incident where we could actually speak to a voter, they tell us that they discovered the changed vote on the summary screen display.”

One man, one vote means NOTHING if the GOP then locks the Constitution

3. They are doing the same thing on Twitter, flooding the feed with lies.

But hey, they've been doing that since Trump announced, and a lot of them aren't even real people anyway, just fake accounts and bots.
