I'll try, but

As best I can explain it: Longtime Hillary Clinton sycophant Peter Daou (see here: https://twitter.com/thetomzone/status/905628277938819072) created a website "for the 65.8 million," referring to the number of people who voted for Clinton in the 2016 election. Hillary recently tweeted out her support for the website, resulting in its sudden attention.

The premise of the site is that it...just posts facts, basically? It puts out a bunch of statistics and benign inspirational quotes and attaches them to what are basically image macros. Each of these has a verification code, which you can enter on the site and learn that these image macros are not "fake news." This seems only really to defend against parodies of the site itself. Also, the logic is kinda circular: go to Verrit to discover that the thing posted by Verrit is legitimate!

At any rate, god knows how much time, money, and effort has been put into this dumbass project.

It's...It's not called Verrit as shorthand for "verify it," right?

Daou says such a space is necessary because the 65.8 million Americans who voted for Clinton are in danger of being “erased.”

It almost definitely is. I think there's also a similarity to Reddit being played on, too.
