Turn What You Learned Into Real Choices
This page is about using what you’ve seen on this site to be a more informed voter. Before you step into the booth, you can slow down, question your feed, and double-check what you’re seeing.
1. Understand Your Feed
Go back to the Social Media Effects page and think about how your own feed is shaped. Are you mostly seeing one side? Are extreme posts showing up more than calm ones?
Ask yourself: Who posted this? Why am I seeing it? What doesn’t show up here?
Revisit Social Media Effects →2. Check the Evidence
If a post or video makes a strong claim, try to match it with real research. The Data & Evidence page gives short summaries of studies and reports you can use as a reality check.
You don’t need to memorize every study—just get used to asking, “Is there actual evidence behind this?”

These non-partisan tools help you go beyond social media. You can look up who’s on your ballot, what each role actually does, and read about issues in plain language instead of just relying on posts.
