This was not a balanced perspective at all. It gets various verifiable facts entirely wrong. For example, it claims "senators [] would break laws governing U.S. elections", presumably referring to objecting to results. But not only are there no laws against this, moreover there have been objections for every single presidential election this century!
Snopes also claims that this vote is "ceremonial", yet it was used in the aftermath of the civil war to disenfranchise every southern state which sent electors; that doesn't sound very "ceremonial" to me.
Arguably both of these issues are immaterial to the rating, but then why include them at all? And why trust a fact checker who is demonstrably spreading misinformation themselves, however immaterial it may be?
