What to expect when you’re electing: Voter recommendations

Summary: Cisco Talos published a research piece on disinformation and election security that closes with guidance for voters ahead of the 2020 U.S. election. The article states that with record early voting, absentee ballots and expanded mail-in voting, election night reporting will most likely take longer than normal, and that not knowing the winner for days or possibly weeks is not an indication of foul play.

Why it matters: The article identifies the extended period before results are known as an environment in which misinformation and disinformation can run rampant, and points readers to official sources as the safeguard against falling victim to those campaigns.
