Why we checked itSpecific figure (7,000 votes) attributed to opponent's legal actions in Bucks County during the 2020 election — verifiable against court filings.
What we foundGarrity did participate in post-election legal efforts to throw out Pennsylvania mail-in ballots in 2020, but the specific figure of 'about seven thousand' does not match the figures in available primary sources, which range from roughly 2,200 (Garrity's documented role per Democracy Docket) to over 8,000 (the broader Trump campaign Philadelphia lawsuits).
