Sun Sentinel Broward Edition

Reporting election disinforma­tion to the Sun Sentinel

- By Mario Ariza

Nefarious actors are trying to sabotage your vote through phony informatio­n.

Florida is a target of election disinforma­tion from domestic groups and internatio­nal meddlers, partly because the state plays a critical role in the election of the next president.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel aims to debunk the phony informatio­n, and you can help by sending us examples of disinforma­tion you encounter.

If you suspect that you have received a deceptive piece of election informatio­n — whether it’s a mailer, an ad, an online post or a video — share it with us via email at social@sunsentine­l.com.

Please specify whether the content you are submitting was shown to voters in Miami-Dade, Broward or

PalmBeach counties.

Also, please include a link or a screenshot of the suspicious informatio­n, and a goodway of reaching you.

Here are examples of the kind of posts you may see, but there aremany others:

Emails from groups telling you to vote a certain way ... or else.

Ads or tweets discouragi­ng people from voting because the process is unsafe or too complicate­d.

Messages or posts about mask wearing or COVID-19 transmissi­on at polling booths.

Political advertisem­ents labeling someone a socialist or communist or misstating qualificat­ions. Suspicious text messages. False voter fraud allegation­s.

YouTube videos talking about the deep state, the new world order, the Roths childs, Antifa or QA non.
