See Something, Say Something
We have the opportunity to participate in a nationwide program to report election misinformation.
SQUINTers download an app and, when they see electoral misinformation, they use an app to take a screenshot of the offending page, type in some information about why they think the information is fishy, and send it in for analysis. A report returns to local election authorities — in our case, to LWVCO who sends it on to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.
When you sign up, you will be invited to an online training session and get instructions for downloading an app to your phone and to your computer. Then, when you’re looking at FaceBook or Twitter or SnapChat or anywhere online, you are ready to identify misinformation and report it in a way that allows officials to do something.
