Most of us don’t think about the voting process, or election administration, until it’s actually time for us to drop off our ballot. That season becomes prime time for folks circulating misinformation to do their worst. But one non-profit, non-partisan news source in Michigan spends all year reporting on the truth about democratic processes. We talk to a VoteBeat reporter about how to sort facts about voting from the disinformation swirling around social media.  

GUEST: 

Hayley Harding, Detroit-based reporter for VoteBeat
