PLEASE READ OUR “HOW TO INTERPRET THE DASHBOARD” PAPER BEFORE CITING OR REPORTING ON HAMILTON 68 (How to Interpret the Hamilton 68 Dashboard: Key Points and Clarifications – Alliance For Securing Democracy).Early last week, accounts tracked by the dashboard focused heavily on the U.S. midterm elections, promoting divisive election issues and spreading articles intended to incite fear regarding migrant caravans in Mexico. After the election, accounts seized on close races around the country to promote various voter fraud conspiracy theories propelling hashtags like “stopthesteal” to the top of trending charts on the dashboard. With a recount looming in Florida, accounts heavily promoted a 2012 NBC Miami report that suggested that 200,000 Florida voters might not be U.S. citizens. The story was subsequently amended to show that only 85 noncitizens were on voter rolls, but the sensational headline was recycled to amplify concerns that the vote in Florida was rigged.
Essentially these are the topics that Russia linked accounts are pushing.
