After you've watched the final presidential debate tonight, I implore you to check the facts thrown around by the two candidates. Both of them stretched the truth at times. This type of injustice is characteristic of the current political climate, but fact-checking organizations have done their best to rectify this mistake. It's important to read these and other analyses of their (sometimes outlandish) claims. These are the first three fact-checking websites I found with a quick Google search; I've been using the first and third ones for the previous debates, and they seem pretty trustworthy. If you're voting, make sure you are informed on all of the issues!
