The code of principles of the International Fact-Checking Network IFCN at Poynter is a series of commitments organizations abide by to promote excellence in fact-checking. The following fact checks come from IFCN fact checkers. (D. Van Zandt)

	Claim by Donald Trump: With absentee voting, as opposed to mail-in voting, “they have to go through a very strict process. The equivalent of going to a voting machine, or maybe even sometimes better.” FactCheck.org rating: False Trump’s Absentee vs. Mail-In Ballot Spin
	Claim via Social Media: Was a Brooklyn, New York, subway attack on a white woman by a black man related to current Black Lives Matter protests? Lead Stories rating: False Fact Check: Brooklyn Subway Attack NOT Related To Black Lives Matter Protests
	Claim by Facebook: A white armed-robbery suspect was sentenced to two years in jail while a black armed-robbery suspect was sentenced to 26 years in prison by the same Florida judge. PolitiFact rating: Mostly True Was race the only difference in sentencing of two defendants in Florida?
	Claim by Trump on Police practices: “President Obama and Vice President Biden never even tried to fix this during their eight-year period. The reason they didn’t try is because they had no idea how to do it.” AP Fact Check rating: False AP FACT CHECK: Trump on an AIDS vaccine that doesn’t exist
	Claim by Donald Trump: If we stopped testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any. PolitiFact rating: Pants on Fire Trump’s take on COVID testing gives short shrift to public health realities
	(International: Tanzania) Claim: YouTube said 600 million viewed Tanzanian president’s speech AFP Fact Check rating: False YouTube never made any announcement about Tanzanian leader’s speech
