Social media posts claim about 100,000 votes cast in Nevada were fraudulent, surpassing US president-elect Joe Bidenâs margin of victory in the state. This is false; the Supreme Court of Nevada examined the claims and denied the request to overturn election results based on a lack of evidence of fraud.
âNevada: 42,000 voted twice 23,000 out of state residents 44,000 from commercial addresses.. 1,500 dead people! TOTAL margin of victory? 33,000,â a December 4, 2020 Facebook post reads.
