ELECTION RUMORS BRIEFINGS
The Algorithmic Transparency Institute, a project of the National Conference on Citizenship, is partnering with the League of Women Voters during the 2024 U.S. primaries and general election to inform LWV and its State Leagues about narratives circulating online related to elections, democracy, and voting. The League hosts a weekly briefing and subsequently issues weekly reports, which you will find below. This report summarizes key narratives based on internal monitoring by ATI and tips submitted by our volunteer network.We also outline data deficits related to each narrative. A data deficit indicates an open question or lack of good information on a topic. Data deficits represent critical opportunities where advocates can insert good information to help combat the misleading narrative.
