Disinformation is a threat to the 2024 elections. Here’s how you can protect yourself and others
Arizona Mirror
This election season, Arizonans will play a crucial role in deciding which party will control Congress and who will occupy the White House. However, as we learned in 2020 and 2022, disinformation targets our communities, sowing distrust, manipulating voters and potentially threatening our voice at the ballot box.
We can fight back.
We’ve been here before. Misleading rhetoric in 2020 targeted vote-by-mail and the accuracy of election results. These efforts attempted to erode trust in democracy, our institutions of government, and in each other.
Disinformation makes our communities less safe. The effort to erode public trust is tangible — and Arizona communities have felt the tension and impact uniquely. In Maricopa County specifically, local election workers — our friends, family, and neighbors — faced an onslaught of threats to their safety following the 2020 election, simply for doing their jobs.
