Today is another day of primaries. While state election officials focus on the immediate concern of keeping people healthy at the polls, CDT's focus continues to be on the impact of misinformation and interference.
Campaign ads with blatant lies may seem easy to identify; however, misinformation isn't always obvious. It can be something as simple as falsely saying the polling location has changed, or claiming that all voters must show ID even when they don't have to.
At CDT, we work with election officials and technology companies to combat this kind of voter-suppression disinformation and interference. Through convenings, trainings, and toolkits, we are working to ensure that the integrity of our elections is maintained.
Your support will allow us to train election officials on cybersecurity measures to keep our election infrastructure safe. You will empower us to modernize audit practices, focusing on increasing accountability and accurate results. You will help educate policy-makers on complex election technology topics to better inform their decision making. And you will help bring technology companies to the table to discuss ways they can better support the election process and protect against misinformation campaigns.
Thank you for standing with CDT,
Chris Calabrese and Lisa Hayes
