Fact-checking the avalanche of Wisconsin election misinformation

A razor-thin margin, a slow vote count and a presidential election hanging in the balance have created the perfect storm for misinformation in Wisconsin.

The morning after the election, social media generated an avalanche of claims about Wisconsin voting totals, timing and turnout. Much of it isn’t true.

We’re separating fact from fiction on some of the most widely shared claims.

CLAIM: "There have been reports of irregularities in several Wisconsin counties which raise serious doubts about the validity of the results."
This unproven assertion came mid-morning Wednesday from Bill Stepien, campaign manager for Trump’s campaign.

At this point it’s unclear what this refers to, as Stepien offered no evidence or detail on these "irregularities." We’ve seen no reports of anything in this vein from Wisconsin, where state elections officials say voting went smoothly.
