It's Nov. 3, Election Day, and you know what that means: Misinformation will be flooding the internet.
There are people who don't want Americans to vote, and will try to sow fear, confusion, and apathy to keep them from the polls.
Don't let them scare you. Haven't voted yet? Find your polling place. (Some companies are even giving discounted rides to the polls.) Already voted by mail? Here's how to check if your ballot was received and counted.
Meanwhile, here is a running list of misinformation being spread today. Please, please don’t amplify misleading social media posts. Even if you’re criticizing them, you don’t want to spread them. Instead, report them to Facebook, Twitter, etc. — whatever you saw them on. And if you’re really concerned, you can contact the non-partisan Election Protection coalition by calling 866-OUR-VOTE.
