Fact check: What sources does the Election Truth Alliance use for election data?

1. Summary of the results

The Election Truth Alliance's sources for election data are not explicitly stated in the provided analyses ^[1]. However, some sources suggest that the organization uses publicly-available election results, such as those from the Pennsylvania State Gov Reporting Center (Archived) ^[2]. The analyses also mention that the Election Truth Alliance conducts independent analyses of election results, targeting swing states and focusing on specific vote types, such as Mail-In, Provisional, and Election Day results ^[3]. The organization's methodology includes various analytical approaches, including 'Down-Ballot Difference' Analysis, Vote Share by Vote Count Analysis, and Turnout Analysis ^[4]. Key findings from the analyses include the use of publicly-available data, such as vote counts and voter turnout information, but the exact sources of this data are not consistently specified across the analyses ^[3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some analyses provide alternative viewpoints on the Election Truth Alliance's data sources, such as the mention of a demand by the U.S. Department of Justice for election data from Colorado, which may be related to the Election Truth Alliance's efforts to analyze election results ^[5]. Other analyses highlight the organization's mission, values, and initiatives, but do not provide information on the specific data sources used ^[1]. Missing context includes the lack of a comprehensive list of data sources used by the Election Truth Alliance, as well as the potential limitations and biases of the publicly-available data used in their analyses ^{[2] [3]}. Some sources provide links to the organization's website, which may contain more information on their data sources, but this information is not explicitly stated in the analyses ^[1].

• The Pennsylvania State Gov Reporting Center (Archived) is mentioned as a potential source of election data ^[2]
• The U.S. Department of Justice's demand for election data from Colorado may be related to the Election Truth Alliance's efforts ^[5]
• The organization's methodology includes various analytical approaches, but the primary data sources used are not specified ^[4]
• The analyses do not provide a comprehensive list of data sources used by the Election Truth Alliance ^{[2] [3]}

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement asks about the sources used by the Election Truth Alliance for election data, but the analyses provided do not offer a clear answer ^[1]. This lack of clarity may be due to the potential bias of the sources, which may have a vested interest in presenting the Election Truth Alliance's methods and data sources in a particular light ^[3]. Misinformation may also arise from the fact that some analyses imply that the Election Truth Alliance uses publicly-available data, but do not provide a comprehensive list of sources or acknowledge potential limitations and biases in this data ^{[2] [3]}. The beneficiaries of this framing include the Election Truth Alliance, which may benefit from the perception that their methods and data sources are robust and unbiased, as well as other organizations or individuals who may have a vested interest in the organization's findings ^[3].
