Carlson cited one in particular who he believed there to be proof of fraud. "No one quite embodies that story like James Blalock of Covington, Georgia. Mr. Blalock was a mailman for 33 years, until he passed away in 2006," Carlson said Thursday.

"Fourteen years later, according to state records, he was still mailing things. James Blalock cast a ballot in last week's election," Tucker continued. However, a local news station investigated the claim and discovered that it was actually Blalock's widow who had voted and not the late Georgian.

This guy was the Fox reporter present in voting site in Pennsylvania. He debunked in real time many Trump campaign lies because he was there inside the building

Carlson subsequently issued an apology. "One of the people who voted in last week's election isn't dead," he said. "James Blalock is still dead."

Carlson added, "We told you about him, but it was his wife who voted. She voted as Mrs. James Blalock. It's old-fashioned, and we missed it."

"It was Mrs. James Blalock," Carlson went on to say. "So apologies for that, and of course we're always going to correct when we're wrong, and we were."

Carlson added that he believes there was still a high number of votes cast by deceased Americans, but that he concedes Blalock was not one of them. He did not provide further credible evidence regarding other alleged cases.
