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 like if 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 ).
Here are our fact-checks on voting during the 2024 election and the results of the vote.
