Headshot of Dr. Jenny Stromer-Galley with text The Steady Drumbeat of Election Fraud During the 2020 Presidential Election: The Role of Facebook Advertising with Prof. Jennifer Stromer-Galley Syracuse University School of Information Studies


Donald Trump and Joe Biden relied heavily on Facebook advertising to sway the hearts and minds of the electorate during the 2020 presidential campaign. Prof. Stromer-Galley and her team analyzed the ads, their messages, the tone, who was targeted, and how much was spent in the ads.

In this talk, Prof. Stromer-Galley give an overview of the ad messaging on Facebook. Stromer-Galley will highlight the ways that the Trump campaign steadily and heavily ran ads that questioned the validity and integrity of mail-in and absentee balloting that she argues contributed to the public’s distrust of the integrity of the election.
