Reasoning: A post circulating on social media displayed election results showing Trump narrowly leading Harris in Wisconsin, suggesting that if Harris had received Stein’s votes, she would have won the state. However, these results were not final. As of Nov. 8, 99% of precincts reported that Trump had won Wisconsin with a more substantial lead, making it impossible for Harris to win even if she had received Stein’s votes. The final tally showed Trump with 1,697,219 votes (49.7%), Harris with 1,667,852 votes (48.8%), and Stein with 12,266 votes (0.4%). Harris’s total, even with Stein’s votes, would still have trailed Trump’s.
Fact or Fiction? Fiction. The claim that Stein’s candidacy spoiled the Wisconsin results for Harris is rated False.
