My last dispatch before Election Day: Here's everything you need to know about the misinformation we might see tomorrow https://bit.ly/3kSie4O
1. This election will be weird.
An influx of mail-in and early voting means we may not know who wins tomorrow, and early results may not match the final outcome. That's OK — here's why. https://bit.ly/3kSie4O

2. Delayed results could spawn false claims.
Partisans could color in the map before all the votes are counted. Campaigns may preemptively declare victory. To avoid being misinformed, create a plan for how you will keep up with results. http://bit.ly/3kSie4O

3. Voter fraud is rare, but expect some hiccups.
There is no evidence that the election will be affected by voter fraud. Be extremely skeptical of posts that claim otherwise. https://bit.ly/3kSie4O

4. Visuals may be used to cast doubt on voting.
Images of long lines or armed militia members at polls may be spread with the intent of suppressing turnout. Do your own research before altering your voting plan. https://bit.ly/3kSie4O

5. There could be misleading claims about violent protests.
Police and retailers are bracing for potential violence after Nov. 3. Be wary of posts that blame broad political groups for the unrest. https://bit.ly/3kSie4O
