Campaign works to protect Latino voters from misinformation
Researchers say language gaps may leave Spanish-speaking voters more exposed to misleading political claims. Researchers have found that election misinformation is being directed towards Latino voters, and language gaps may leave Spanish-speaking voters more exposed to misleading political claims. A community campaign in Phoenix is working to educate these voters before they cast their ballot. Monica Sandschafer, director of the organization, provides information on voting, public policy and legal rights ahead of Election Day. The campaign primarily targets first-time voters and immigrants who are exercising their right to vote. Marisa Abrajano, political science professor at UC San Diego, has been studying how voters encounter and respond to political misinformation, and Meta acknowledges that they do not have fact-checking algorithms in non-English languages.
