Shared on Facebook and Instagram days leading up to the 2020 U.S. general election, posts show a clip of Joe Biden saying, “We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” The posts falsely ask if the video shows the Democratic presidential candidate “admit(ting) to voter fraud.” It was a slip of the tongue - Biden was describing the voter protection program his campaign has launched in anticipation of potential legal fights over the outcome of the Nov. 3 election against President Donald Trump.

VERDICT
Missing context. This clip of Biden allegedly “admitting” to voter fraud has been shared out of context. As seen in the full interview, the former vice president was discussing his campaign’s voter protection program.

This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.

No recount in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's secretary of state has said she will not order a recount in the state, as Joe Biden's margin of victory was sufficiently big not to warrant one.

States often have rules which mean an automatic recount if a candidate's win is within a certain small range - by less than 0.5%, for instance. Georgia is currently holding a recount for this reason.

But Pennsylvania will not do the same. Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar decided not to order a recount, an update today said, "as no statewide candidate was defeated by one-half of one percent or less of the votes cast".

The BBC's results data says Joe Biden is ahead by about 60,000 votes, with 99% of votes counted.
