Question: Is social media being used to target the disenfranchised in swing states?
Position1 of 2›: Yes, social media is being used to target the disenfranchised in swing states
Argument‹6 of 6: Foreign states have attempted to influence the 2020 election

Social media is being used to target the disenfranchised in swing states. Foreign states have attempted to suppress certain groups of the population from voting.

The argument

Foreign states have already attempted to influence the 2020 US presidential election. The attacks have included those intending to discourage voters from supporting certain front-runner candidates. Stories have also been circulating suggesting that American elections are rigged. The intended outcome seems to be to erode trust in the American government as well as to undermine confidence in the integrity of the 2020 US presidential election. At the end of 2019, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned election officials in US states that Russia could try to interfere in the 2020 presidential election by discouraging voter turnout. This is a particular issue in swing states.

Premises

[P1]Foreign states have already attempted to influence the 2020 US election, spreading stories that elections are rigged and trying to discourage support for front-runners to erode trust in government. [P2] At the end of 2019 the FBI and DHS warned state officials that Russia could try to suppress voter turnout, a particular concern in swing states. [C] Therefore, social media is being used to target the disenfranchised in swing states.

Counter-arguments

Foreign interference is not as severe as it has been suggested. In some cases, foreign meddlers may simply be amplifying falsehoods and misinformation that is already being spread by American social media users.

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P1] Attempts to influence an election establish interference in general; neither the rigged-election stories nor the discouragement of support for front-runners establishes the specific claim at issue, which is the targeting of disenfranchised voters through social media. [Rejecting P2] The FBI and DHS warning describes a possibility officials were told to prepare for rather than a finding that it occurred — and as the counter notes, amplifying material already circulating among domestic users is a different phenomenon from targeted suppression in swing states.
