With Latinos expected to play a key role in midterm elections, many of the lies are about...
Experts say they’ve seen false messages spreading on WhatsApp and other services about Democrats in Congress voting to open the border to immigrants, or telling Latino voters not to bother casting ballots because the elections will be stolen anyway. Others have false information about voting requirements.
Research indicates Latinos are especially susceptible to online misinformation as they use social media platforms more than other groups. And they are seen by both parties as an increasingly important segment of the electorate. Roughly a quarter of Texas’ eligible voters — some 4.4 million people — are Spanish-speakers.
“The outsized use of this technology also makes these apps prime for spreading misinformation, particularly among Latino communities,” a voting in Congress to open the border. No such vote has taken place, and in fact many moderate Democrats in Congress have sought to pressure the Biden administration to keep in place a COVID-era public health order under which many migrants are immediately expelled.
