Summary Introduction

Introduction

New media has made it easier than ever before to share political opinions and encourage behaviors. Elections could be swayed by false reporting aimed at candidates' characters and exaggerated interpretations of issues. Twitter and Facebook make it easier to manufacture fear to motivate people to vote a certain way, or even prevent them from voting if they feel their participation is unimportant or dangerous.
