[EL] Disinformation in our Democracy: The 2020 Election, Current Threats, and the Path Forward

[Danielle Caputo]

Hi all,

Issue One’s National Council on Election Integrity
<https://counteveryvote.org/members/> presents its second event of our 2021
Speaker Series on strengthening our elections, “Disinformation in our
Democracy: The 2020 Election, Current Threats, and the Path Forward”
<https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5iS3QByjRI2onmiDLmoXaw> happening
on *April 20th, 1:00PM - 2:00PM ET.*


The 2020 election was the most secure in American history. Despite a
once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic, voters turned out in a way our country
hasn’t seen in over a century. At the same time, disinformation spread by
politicians and foreign actors flourished online, sowing division and
distrust in our democratic system. Following months of false claims that
the election was rigged and fraudulent, a violent mob of Americans stormed
the U.S. Capitol on January 6, disrupting a joint session of Congress to
count the Electoral College votes and bringing our republic to the brink.

As we continue to grapple with how we got here and the ways in which
disinformation has infected public trust in government and our elections,
we must also examine the latest trends and actors, and the impact complex
disinformation campaigns are continuing to have in our country.

Please join us for a robust discussion with leading experts about these
root causes and the bold solutions our government and corporations can take
to combat the growing threat that disinformation presents to our way of
life.


Disinformation in our Democracy: The 2020 Election, Current Threats, and
