Don’t let fear replace fact. Spot false information with your own fact-checking. It’s easy for false information to spread online.
Before sharing a post, article, image, or video:
• Check who created it.
• Look for the original source.
• See if trusted news organizations or local election offices are reporting the same thing.
• Check the date. Old information can be shared like it is new.
• Beware emotional headlines designed to trigger a reaction.
If you can’t confirm that it’s true, don’t share it!
