#EleccionesUSAmaldita, the hashtag to ask your questions

Next Tuesday 27 October Carlos Hernández-Echevarría (@carlos_hem), Public Policy and Institutional Development Coordinator at Maldita.es and expert in US politics, will be live on Twitter answering the questions people ask through the hashtag #EleccionesUSAmaldita. We will debunk hoaxes you ask us about and also answer questions about the US electoral system.

This live session can be followed from 19:00h on the Twitter account @maldita_es. Don’t forget to send your question with the hashtag #EleccionesUSAmaldita!

At Maldita.es we are following the election campaign in our Special US Elections 2020 and we have covered, together with colleagues from Latin American media outlets, the two debates between President Donald Trump and candidate Joe Biden. In addition, on the night of 3 November we will carry out live coverage of election night in which we will be alert to disinformation that may circulate about the results.

Disinformation in such important elections affects us all. Remember we need you to reach where we cannot: WhatsApp groups, conversations between coworkers, family gatherings. Together it is harder for them to fool us!
