Ballotpedia knows that our readers value impartial facts and want to avoid the spread of false information that occurs when organizations simply report what politicians say. That's why we launched our fact-checking project in October 2015. Since that time, Ballotpedia's fact-check team has examined hundreds of claims made by elected officials, political appointees, and political candidates at the federal, state, and local levels, and has been recognized by Duke Reporters’ Lab, an affiliate of Duke University in North Carolina, as a trustworthy fact-checking source. Our fact-checkers evaluate claims made by politicians of all backgrounds and affiliations, subjecting them to the same objective and neutral examination process. You can view all of Ballotpedia's published fact checks, by topic and date, here.
