Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itKolodin attributes a specific and dramatic characterization ('unprecedented in American history' and 'nuclear weapon' comparison) to a named federal judge (Judge Laverde). Verifiable against the actual court ruling.
What we foundA federal judge did call Fontes's election manual canvass provision 'utterly without precedent' and explicitly compared it to a nuclear weapon in a 2024 ruling.
