Gigafact is a nonprofit technology and information company working with newsrooms to correct misinformation. As part of our partnership, AZCIR will produce fact briefs to address statements about recent events or policies circulating online, deeming the claims accurate or inaccurate and providing documentation to back up our calls.
We’ll use this platform to push back on mis- and disinformation, publishing several fact briefs per week. This work isn’t about political opinions or clickbait, but rather providing fact-based, neutral analyses to help clarify topics that are important to our state and nation.
By adding these fact briefs to our existing investigative journalism, we can reach readers in new ways, often in a more timely and responsive manner.

Yes. Arizona passed House Bill 2492 in 2022, requiring proof of citizenship, like a birth certificate or passport, to register to vote in presidential elections.
No. Arizona State University canceled the “Unfuck America Tour” event, a stop on a nationwide circuit by the political organization National Ground Game, because organizers missed the university’s registration deadline.
