Election verification projects are very in right now.
Last summer, 24 newsrooms in Brazil joined forces to fact-check misinformation about fall’s presidential election. In November, First Draft expanded its CrossCheck project to Nigeria, where 16 news outlets worked together to fact-check the election. In March, 19 fact-checkers teamed up to debunk falsehoods about this month’s parliamentary elections in the European Union — followed closely by Comprobado, a project to fact-check last-minute elections in Spain.
