The new website, which was developed in partnership with VerbaAI, will use artificial intelligence to identify political statements and then check them against known and trusted sources such as Snopes, PolitiFact, LeadStories, and Fact Check.org.

The League also plans to use the website to locate and submit questionable stories for review by its members.

"The ubiquitous spread of election lies is a clear danger to our democracy," said Virginia League President Joan Porte. "This is just a piece of the work that we do to protect voters, but it is vital.”
