To participate in democracy, you need to be well informed. But in today’s political climate, there’s a lot of false information circulating about our election processes and systems. Who spreads these falsehoods, and why? What are the real reasons public figures like Elon Musk share false claims about voting? With a presidential election around the corner, it’s important for voters to recognize and understand election disinformation and know how to find reliable information about voting.
In this webinar, Kurt Sampsel of PEN America will provide an overview of the key themes, motivations, and trends of current election disinformation campaigns, followed by a conversation with Maritza Félix of Conecta Arizona and Jen Fifield of Votebeat about what they’ve learned from fighting election conspiracies and providing communities with nuanced, accurate information about voting.
