| How does Donald Trump lie? A fact checker's final guide | |
| Alan Yuhas | |
| Donald Trump lies like he tweets: erratically, at all hours, sometimes in malice and sometimes in self-contradiction, and sometimes without any apparent purpose at all. The Guardian has catalogued more than 100 falsehoods made by the Republican nominee over the last 150 days, and sorted them according to theme. | |
| Hillary Clinton has been caught in more than a dozen falsehoods of her own, for instance about her email practices and her past support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. But Clinton often makes her falsehoods in dense legalese, making them hard to pin a motive on: many could as easily be errors as lies, careless exaggeration or deliberately misleading claims. | |
| Trump, on the other hand, will say “wrong” when he hears his own quotes. His own lawyers met him in pairs to counteract his lying, court documents show. He has invented false statistics, fictional videos and sex tapes and a nonexistent man named “John Miller” to talk about his sex life. Months of fact-checking, however, reveal methods and, whether he means to or not, Trump’s guide to success through lying. | |
| Read further for a taxonomy of Trump’s lying, with categories including: Degrade and destroy; Embiggen big league; Shout at the messenger; Conspiracy smoke, fire not required; Deny everything; and Distortions. | |

| “Wave of women voters elevates Trump to presidency” – the headlines in Donald Trump’s head, apparently. | |
| "You know who is going to come out? The women. The women are going to come out big," Trump said in Sarasota, predicting battleground wins. | |

| A Michigan man in the know... | |
| Big surges in absentee ballot returns in Democratic counties during the weekend. | |
| However... | |
| Some positives for GOP in AVs too. Macomb up 8.2% in rate of ballots returned (8th among 83 MI counties). Livingston is 12th at 7.8%. | |
| Livingston county – Michigan’s richest, in suburban Detroit – went 23 points for Romney in 2012, when Obama won the state by 10 points. Macomb, a less tony Detroit suburb and home to the original “Reagan Democrats” – blue-collar workers who voted Republican – is thought to be fertile ground for Trump, Obama’s four-point win there in 2012 notwithstanding. | |

| Terribly, North Carolina has been a capital this year for voter suppression, especially of Democratic and black voters. After the supreme court earlier this year struck down a voter restriction law passed by the North Carolina legislature, numerous Republican-controlled elections boards on the county level passed regulations cutting the number of polling stations and winnowing voting hours. Some of those measures, but not all, were overturned. That’s part of the reason for the long, long lines you’ve been seeing. | Terribly, North Carolina has been a capital this year for voter suppression, especially of Democratic and black voters.
