Why we checked itSpecific allegation that a judge ruled against the opponent for attempting to manipulate a presidential ballot — a serious legal claim that could be verified against court records.
What we foundA Sixth Circuit dissenting judge did use language that Benson 'manipulated the presidential ballot,' but the majority of courts — including the Sixth Circuit majority and the U.S. Supreme Court — ruled in Benson's favor on the RFK Jr. ballot dispute, making the claim that she was 'slapped down by a judge' for this conduct an overstatement.
