Fact check: No evidence that 14,000 dead people cast ballots in Wayne County, Michigan

The claim: 14,000 dead people voted in Wayne County, Michigan
Attempting to discredit election results in a battleground state, a number of social media posts shared this week make the claim that thousands of voters in Michigan had cast a ballot under the names of deceased people.

"Here is a list of 14+ thousand dead people who voted in Wayne County (Detroit)," reads a Facebook post from The Liberalists that directs to an invalid link. The page asks users to "verify it" by doing a search of the names on the Michigan Voter Information Center.

In a message to USA TODAY, The Liberalists said the link was to a database list of dead people you could put in yourself, but that the link was removed by Facebook.
