Engaging the Truth Squad: Hoover Scholars Working to Debunk Election Misinformation

For the last several years, Political Science Professor Justin Grimmer and Hoover fellow Benjamin Ginsberg have been working to confront election disinformation and its negative impacts on America’s electoral system. By debunking conspiracy theories, challenging falsehoods about voter turnout, and supporting election officials and poll workers themselves, Grimmer and Ginsberg have demonstrated a solemn commitment to preserving the integrity of America’s election system, acting in support of the Center for Revitalizing American Institution’s core objectives. They spoke to Hoover’s Chris Herhalt about their recent efforts and how they found themselves at the tip of the spear fighting election falsehoods.
