What do we know now?

Choose the proof before you trust the label

Tap words, date, evidence, or visible limit. Search stays available when you already know exactly what to look for.

Choose the proof

Tap which part of the claim you want to check.

A label comes later. First confirm words, date, evidence, and limit so a claim does not turn into rumor.

Selected piece

Without original words, there is no fair conclusion.

The check starts with the original quote, video, post, or document so a summary does not replace what was actually said.

Start a claim check with a real candidate.

Names come from public race sources. Claim labels stay pending until original words, date, source, and evidence path are clear.
The short answer

A check starts with exactly what was said, who said it, when it was said, and which public source preserves it.

Choose your path

Check the words before trusting the label.

A check starts with original text, date, public source, and visible limit.

Ballot starting point

Selected path

Open the right race first.

Avoid comparing people before the office, date, and ballot context are clear.

Open

Verification path

A label comes last

The page should take you from the original words to the evidence. Only after source, date, context, and visible limit are clear should a label be trusted.

Original first

Before trusting a claim, check four things

What exactly was said?

Use the original quote, video, post, or document.

Where is it preserved?

A dated capture reduces later edits and removals.

What evidence touches it?

Connect records, issues, money, and earlier statements.

What label is fair?

Separate supported, changed, incomplete, and contradicted.
