There’s a 24-year-old Venezuelan man living in Iceland who spreads political misinformation in Spanish to American Latinos on YouTube. He’s a viral smash.
On WhatsApp, a free international messaging and calling platform, misinformation about the presidential election accumulates in bunches.
In August, a group of Republican Cubans from Florida showed up in Fairhill, Philadelphia, to tell the more than 80% Latino community through phone calls, leaflets, and sidewalk confrontations, “The 2020 election was rigged, and if you’re a real Christian, you have to vote for Donald Trump.”
Latino voters in Pennsylvania could play a pivotal role in this election as both parties jockey for their support. It makes them a target for misinformation.
