Why we checked itA specific legal claim that multiple courts found Fontes guilty of deception — a serious allegation that is directly verifiable against court records.
What we foundCourts ruled against Fontes' ballot language in some instances, finding it misleading or unlawful, but no court found him 'guilty' of 'trying to lie to voters' — a framing that implies deliberate deception and criminal-style culpability that the actual rulings do not establish.
