False claim voting software permits officials to override election results | Fact check

The claim: A software company's contract allows officials to override election results

A Sept. 14 Instagram post (direct link, archive link) includes a screenshot of a post on X, formerly Twitter, about a company that supposedly makes software used by many states during their elections.

“BREAKING: Election software (KNOWiNK Systems) that is used in 36 states plus Washington, D.C., has contracts that include a clause that allows the election staff to override the results of an election,” the post reads.

It was liked more than 500 times in eight days. The original X post from the right-wing website Leading Report was shared more than 10,000 times in nine days.

Our rating: False

Listen to Republicans

Republicans are increasingly joining former President Trump on hedging when asked whether they'll accept the results of the 2024 elections.

Why it matters: Promising to accept the results of elections used to be a cliche. But in the Trump era, that's no longer a guarantee.

  • Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) told CNN's "State of the Union" today he'll accept the results if they're "fair and free." In February, he told ABC News that if he were vice president in 2020, he would have told states to submit alternate slates of electors and let Congress decide.
  • Speaker Mike Johnson would "adhere to the rule of law" on accepting election results, but is fine with legal challenges, spokesperson Taylor Haulsee told the New York Times.
  • Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) repeatedly dodged when "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker asked if he'll accept the next election's results, calling it a "hypothetical question."
  • Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said she'll accept results if "constitutional," but also said the 2020 election was not, because of COVID-era changes to voting.
  • Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told "Meet the Press" on Sunday that he'll accept the results if "there's no massive cheating."
  • Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) will accept the results if he thinks they're fair and if states follow their own laws, he said last month at an Axios event.

The bottom line: Trump campaign officials said it wasn't a "litmus test" when they asked potential RNC hires if the 2020 election was stolen, Axios' Sophia Cai reported in March.

  • "There is a litmus test," a Trump official told reporters at the time. "And that is, 'Do you support President Trump, or not?'"

ps:Not one true Republican among them, only cult followers!!
