Each day Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

PolitiFact rating: False (A group of voters filed a challenge with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger seeking to remove U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from the ballot.
