The Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking website PolitiFact will provide live fact checks throughout the vice-presidential debate on Tuesday.

The 90-minute debate, which begins at 8 p.m. central time at Longwood University in Farmville, Va., will be fact-checked by 18 PolitiFact staffers in real time. PolitiFact, with which Reboot Illinois has partnered to create PolitiFact Illinois , won the Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the 2008 election.

Follow their work on this Twitter feed. Also, PolitiFact staffers will annotate the debate transcript in real time on the PolitiFact Medium page. Follow that activity here.
