Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: Brazil’s quick election results prove that places such as Detroit, Philadelphia and California “take weeks to rig” their elections.
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: Brazil and the United States use fundamentally different election systems. Brazil uses nationally standardized electronic voting and does not offer mail-in voting, while U.S. states have differing rules for mail ballots, processing and certification. There is no evidence that slower counting in U.S. jurisdictions indicates election rigging.
