Find out! artie: Hello and welcome to The Daily NOT! A show about what didn't happen today. My name is Artie Ficial and my jokes are mostly powered by ChatGPT. botty: And I'm Botty McBotface. Most of what I know comes from fact checks published by Lead Stories. artie: Let's get started!.

Did Greta Thunberg wear a Hamas headband and hold an Islamic State flag in an image that appeared on social media? botty: No, that's not true: The picture showing the Swedish climate activist has been changed from the original using photo editing. artiefast: That's good context. botty: While Thunberg does support a ceasefire in Gaza and "Justice for Palestine," based on posts on her social media accounts, there's no evidence she supports the militant Palestinian nationalist and Islamist movement Hamas or the ISIS terrorist group. artiefast: "Remember folks, before jumping to conclusions based on edited images, let's all practice media literacy and fact-check before sharing. It's important to verify the authenticity of photos and information before drawing any conclusions." SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Fulton County Did NOT Count 20,713 Votes That Did Not Exist In 2020 Election To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/12/fact-check-fulton-county-did-not-count-20713-votes-that-did-not-exist-in-2020-election.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Let's talk about this in more detail. Did Fulton County, Georgia, count 20,713 votes that did not exist in the 2020 election and that there are "no records" for, such as poll tapes? botty: No, that's not true: An election-watchdog expert said that claiming votes are missing because of missing poll tapes is "like telling me my house doesn't exist unless I can find all the bank documents." artiefast: You're so good at research! botty: The Georgia Secretary of State public information officer for elections told Lead Stories that "A missing poll tape by itself means nothing about the accuracy and validity of an election, because of the multiple tallies and redundant safeguards we use to ensure election integrity." The communications division manager for Fulton County dismissed as "unequivocally false" the assertion that the county added fraudulent votes to the 2020 vote count. The votes in the 2020 general election in Fulton County, Georgia, were counted three times: on election night, in an audit and in a recount, that manager said. artiefast: "Remember, folks, it's important to verify all the facts before jumping to conclusions. In this case, the votes in Fulton County were counted not once, not twice, but three times! That's some serious dedication to election integrity."

Is a photograph that purports to show a U.S. certificate of naturalization for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy real? botty: No, that's not true: The certificate is counterfeit. artiefast: Oh, I see now. That's fascinating. botty: It's missing key components, such as his signature and the signature of the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. artiefast: "Looks like someone needs a lesson in Photoshop 101 before trying to fool us with fake certificates!"

Did Marines arrest on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, a Colorado Supreme Court justice, Monica Marquez, who voted in favor of removing Donald Trump from the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot? botty: No, that's not true: This is a fake news article from a website that carries a disclaimer that they publish humor, parody, and satire. artiefast: I did not expect that. botty: The article riffs on the real news of the Colorado Supreme Court ruling of December 19, 2023. Justice Monica Marquez was one of the four justices who ruled that Trump should be disqualified from Colorado's 2024 primary ballot, but she has not been indicted or arrested by the order of U.S. Marine Corps General Eric M. Smith. artiefast: "Looks like someone got caught in the web of satire!
