The early voting period this year is significantly more filled with election misinformation compared to previous presidential races, complicating the electoral process and enforcing a demand for debunking.
Election administrators are struggling to break through the noise of misleading narratives that risk generating legal claims and delaying the electoral process, amid a surge in early voting.
Kate Starbird of the Center for an Informed Public stated that as more voters engage in early and mail-in voting, the spread of rumors has also accelerated, stretching the misinformation cycle.
Amy Cohen, executive director of the National Association of State Election Directors, emphasized the overwhelming challenge of managing misinformation, indicating it feels increasingly difficult to control and address.
