The local authorities and it was a ditch in Wisconsin! she snapped back, before accusing him of missing the forest through the trees by asking her to verify the presidents claims.

ABC debunked several of Trump's debate lies including the one about ballots dumped in rivers. The incident Trump was referring to was case of mail being dumped in Wisconsin but ABC showed Wisconsin official verifying that there were no election ballots or ballot requests whatsoever in the improperly dumped mail.
