Who will win PolitiFact's Lie of the Year?

By W. Gardner Selby December 5, 2012

PolitiFact in Washington has posted its nominees for the 2012 "Lie of the Year."

And you can vote. PolitiFact also accepts write-ins.

No Texas claims are in the running, though PolitiFact’s review of a claim by President Barack Obama about Mitt Romney and Arizona’s immigration law draws on our check of a similar statement. See the PolitiFact Texas Truth-O-Meter article to the right.

Otherwise, click here to see all the nominees and to vote.
