At Psychology Today Blogs, Sunita Sah offers some suggestions for making sure you are casting your vote intelligently.* Here’s one that’s particularly relevant in these days of the Disinformation Superhighway:

Today’s landscape of unverified news sources and social media makes it difficult to separate fact from fiction, muddying our values-based decision-making. When information is distorted, it’s challenging to know whether candidates’ stances align with our values or are just a polished performance. Looking at who funds and influences a candidate can help clarify what policies they’re likely to support, rather than what they claim to stand for in speeches.
