🚘 BUCKLE UP 🚘 The road to accurate information can be a bumpy one, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re a first-time voter struggling to sort fact from fiction, start by asking yourself these three questions developed by @SHEG_Stanford.

1️⃣ Who is behind the information? A quick detour 🚧 to someone’s bio to see who they are won’t slow you down that much and it will help you determine if you can trust what they’re saying.

2️⃣ What is the evidence? Make sure the person giving you directions 🗺️ can back up the things they’re saying.

What are other sources saying? Seek out multiple sources to get the full picture of the road ahead 🚗.

If you ask yourself these questions, you’ll be navigating through lanes of disinformation in no time. These questions are especially important for first-time voters. Your vote matters, so your decisions in the #2020Election should be based on fact, not fiction. Now get going!
