Verdict: misleading

“Voters without a permanent home” can legally use certain buildings as voting addresses in Maricopa County.

Fact check:

Former President Donald Trump has been declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election, marking the end of a political comeback, according to The Associated Press. During Election Day, voters documented every possible instance of irregularities and shared them on social media, especially in Arizona.

A after shared on X claims that more than 60 people registered to vote using an address that was not their home. The message seems to imply that these people were illegally using government buildings as addresses.

However, this is incorrect. Maricopa County allows what it calls “voters without a permanent home” to use municipal buildings as addresses to vote legally. These buildings may include homeless shelters, halfway houses, and courthouses.
