Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.


Claimant: Donald Trump (R)


Claim: Maryland “sent out 500,000 illegal mail-in ballots” to help Democrats win.


Rating: BLATANT LIE


Explanation: Maryland officials said no illegal ballots were sent. Some voters received the wrong party’s primary ballot because of a vendor error, and replacement ballots are being issued while original returned ballots are voided.
