An election worker examines ballots as vote counting continues Nov. 5 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. As of Nov. 4, county election officials had only identified about 200 problematic mailed ballots.

A look at false and misleading claims and videos that followed voting in the Nov. 3 presidential election. None of these are legit, even though they were shared widely on social media. The Associated Press checked them out. Here are the facts:

<b>Claim</b>A video shows election workers in Delaware County, Pa., stamping clean ballots as received and then filling them in, which proves that voter fraud is taking place.<b>The Facts</b>The video, taken from the county's official livestream, shows an election worker transcribing votes from damaged ballots to clean ballots. Social media users are taking footage from livestreams of the vote count to rapidly spread false information about the close race for president in Pennsylvania. One version of the video used to make the false claim received more than 1 million views on Twitter on Friday.A post on Facebook sharing the video said, “Delaware County, Pennsylvania, looks like the dude in the black shirt is doing more than just 'counting ballots' (hash)trump2020.” In the video, an election worker wearing a black shirt and a black mask can be seen sitting at a table as he transcribes ballots. According to Delaware County election officials, the video was cropped to remove the bipartisan observers watching over election workers from 6 feet away. When processing ballots, county officials rely on a machine extractor to open the ballots and some ballots become damaged during the process, preventing them from being scanned.In order to count those votes, the man in the video was manually transcribing the votes from the damaged ballots to a clean ballot so they could be properly scanned. The damaged ballots were positioned next to the new ones for election observers to witness, and they were preserved.Delaware County has been allowing Pennsylvania residents to watch the livestream since they first began streaming the vote count on Nov. 3. The AP confirmed the video with county officials who said they were also transcribing ballots and observers were present.

<b>Claim</b>Video shows poll workers committing election fraud by stuffing ballots in Flint, Michigan.<b>The Facts</b>The video shows poll workers in Russia, not in the United States. It has been circulating online since March 19, 2018, when it was used to support reports of alleged ballot stuffing in Russia's elections that year. In the video, there are five poll workers in a room. One of them is standing, and can be seen putting ballots into a white box. Later, a woman in a blue shirt can be seen doing the same. Behind them there are two polling booths.On Thursday, social media users began widely sharing the video anew, this time with false claims it was evidence of election fraud in Flint, Mich. “Here we have staffers stuffing ballots in flint mi,” read a Facebook post shared nearly 2,000 times.However, the original video was not shot in Michigan — or in the United States. It appeared in a Washington Post story about ballot-stuffing in Russia in 2018. There are also context clues that show the video isn't American: The Russian coat of arms is visible on both the ballot box and on the polling booths.

<b>Claim</b>Votes were eliminated in Arizona and Michigan because people were made to use Sharpie pens to mark their ballots. This caused the tabulation machine to cancel the vote.<b>The Facts</b>Following an AP race call early Wednesday that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden had flipped Arizona, as well as updated vote counts showing Biden in the lead in Michigan, social media posts circulated suggesting votes for Trump were canceled because voters were told to use Sharpies at their polling site.The claims spurred from a viral video from Arizona that shows a woman speaking about how four different polling places were using Sharpies, and a man asking if “those ballots are not being counted” and “are invalid.” “They are invalidating votes is what they are doing,” the man says. “But the day of the election, officials had made clear the Sharpies were given out on purpose. The Maricopa County Elections Department tweeted on Election Day that voting centers use Sharpies so that ink does not smudge when ballots are counted.Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes tweeted in response to a voter's query, “Vote Centers use sharpies for the fastest drying ink, to prevent smudges going through the tabulation equipment,” he said.Sophia Solis, public information officer for the Arizona Secretary of State, said in an email that votes would not be canceled if there was an issue with the ballot. According to the state's election procedures manual, a ballot review board duplicates ballots which cannot be read by the machine. “This may include crumpled or otherwise damaged ballots, ballots with smudged ink, or ballots which are marked in the wrong color of ink or with a device that cannot be read by the tabulation machine,” the manual states.Lisa Posthumus Lyons, the clerk for Michigan's Kent County, addressed the confusion on Wednesday afternoon. “Sharpies are the preferred device of our election equipment vendor,” she tweeted. “Black or blue pen also acceptable for proper tabulating. Bleed through is not a concern as ballots are programmed to ignore bleed.”
