Why We Have to Watch The Vote
The 2020 U.S. General Election revealed just how damaging mis/disinformation can be—not only at the national level, but at local election offices too. Fulton County has been at the center of election integrity challenges, with widespread false accusations, such as claims that poll workers engaged in voter fraud.
These types of claims weaken trust in the system and even lead to voter disenfranchisement. In 2024, we face the added challenge of AI-driven disinformation, and we need to be prepared to counter it.
