Coordinated election disinformation

Coordinated election disinformation is the organized spread of false claims about voting procedures, eligibility, locations, deadlines, or results — distinguished from individual political speech by coordination among multiple actors and operational intent to suppress turnout or manufacture doubt. Concrete forms include networks of accounts pushing false poll-location information, organized robocalls misstating ID requirements, paid campaigns spreading fabricated images of ballot mishandling, and the strategic amplification of fringe claims by officials who know better. The publication tracks campaigns that can be linked to organized actors. Honest political speech that turns out to be wrong is not disinformation; coordinated falsehoods aimed at affecting how or whether people vote are — regardless of how large the campaign happens to be.
