What can Delaware's Latinos learn about election misinformation?

With Election Day just days way, we examine a growing population that's becoming an important voter base — Latinos.

A study of the 2022 midterms showed social media was a major source of information for that group, but also a source of mis- and dis-information.

The research co-led by Dr. Marisa Abrajano at the University of California, San Diego showed Latinos were often targeted by Spanish-language social media.

To understand how this dynamic impacts the First State, ACLU of Delaware Executive Director Mike Brickner joins Delaware Public Media’s Jay Shah.
