#Rumor
It's game time / Election Day! I'm starting a thread here for our team's rapid election rumor research.

Here's our first rumor of the day, malfunctioning scanners in NY (this is true!) becoming wrapped into "rigged election" conspiracy theories (this is false!). bsky.app/profile/kate...
We have our 1st reports of election machines malfunctioning in Westchester, NY. This is spreading w/ a conspiratorial framing on the right. Very similar to Maricopa 2022. Machines sometimes hiccup. It's not intentional. There are remedies: secure containers for your ballots to be counted later.

What is a "fake rumor"
Does that mean it wasn't a rumor, it was true?

It is kinda funny that a (as far as I know unfounded) rumor was going around that Musk had to get his dick replaced with a robot penis and over the last week he’s been posting about Anakin Skywalker.

Trump: "They had that fake rumor that we were low on ammo. We really weren't. We were lot on certain things, and the word 'low' is too strong. But we were sort of diminishing our thing because we gave so much to Ukraine under Biden."

Our "6 Ways Rigged Elections Mislead" framework can help people quickly diagnose how an emerging rumor about election integrity might be misleading. It can also be a guide for how to communicate effectively about election issues (stressing context about impact, remedies, and intentions).

Shout out to our amazing team of students, post docs, research scientists, and others (about half of whom are pictured here) doing all the election rumor research powering my posts today. Almost time for a lunch break!
