With a busy 2024 heading toward a close, PolitiFact readers sent us thoughtful questions and plenty of election-year fee

dback through email and social media comments. Readers weighed in on the presidential race, President Joe Biden’s pardoning of his son, Hunter Biden, and more.

"Instead of falling into the outdated tropes of legacy media, I would like to see PolitiFact use data as a way to showcase a candidate’s honesty. For example, you could publish an Infograph that measures where a candidate’s statements are rated within a given time frame.

"You call yourself ‘the Truth Squad,’ but it certainly seems you do a lot more checks on Trump than Harris," the reader wrote. "The other day, I was listening to Ms. Harris’ New Hampshire speech while also folding clothes. Even though my focus wasn’t all on the speech, I still caught her repeating statements that have been fact-checked as false over and over. Many were in her DNC speech as well.

"I don’t know about framing this as a ‘democratic conspiracy.’ Very few have alleged this let alone any mainstream platform or individual. Dinesh D’Souza a Republican pundit also alleged this as well as other Republicans to ‘prove’ there was fraud, it’s why the new Republican slogan is"too big to rig," which is still false. Please stop trying to play both sides, it’s quite clear one is evidently far gone and holding a double standard isn’t solving anything.
