And while many people are worried about disinformation in the days leading up to Election Day, it will be the day after votes are cast that will be most dangerous.Brett Bruen was the director of global engagement in the Obama White House and a career American diplomat. He runs the crisis-communications agency Global Situation Room.
Rumors will run rampant about how the other side "stole their victory." But most worryingly, the president seems to be fomenting this coming anger and sowing these seeds of doubt. If the American people vote him out, he and a number of his supporters are likely to claim fraud. Russia will of course be there to lend a hand to amplify these calls.
So what can we do? It is important that leaders and journalists help to put things in perspective. If there are reports of issues or incidents, encourage that they are investigated. But, don't blow them out of proportion. Politicians and the press need to appreciate how combustible the situation in our country is at the moment.
