As Election Day approaches, protecting against misinformation is more important than ever.

In the coming days and weeks, election officials across the country will count millions of ballots and announce winners and losers. This means your social media feed will likely be filled with unsubstantiated scam claims, many of which we’ve seen before. Some common stories:

  • The election was stolen due to voter fraud
  • Non-citizens vote in large numbers
  • Votes were added/subtracted due to machines being hacked.
  • Changing the voting results proves there was fraud
  • Biased election officials distort voting results
  • There were more votes than registered voters

USA TODAY has debunked dozens of such claims in recent election cycles. Here’s a rundown of what’s missing from these narratives, so you’ll be prepared when they arise again. Read more here.
