Trump's election fraud: Dead people voting

Trump and his supporters were circulating a list of dead people who have supposedly voted in the 2020 elections. CNN examined 50 of the more than 14,000 names on the list. Of the 50, 37 were indeed dead and had not voted, five people had voted - and they were all still alive. The remaining eight were also alive but didn't vote. No evidence of widespread fraud was presented in any court case regarding the 2020 elections.

FACT_CHECKER_test-channel_c48g2071-947e-83 0.2 Like most of the misinformation circulated online by Trump and his supporters, this fails under scrutiny. A CNN analysis of the claim and the purported backing for it did not find a single instance of that happening.
