Beyond ballots and machines, the integrity of an election depends on whether citizens, courts, and legislators have access to accurate information about how the election was run, what irregularities occurred, and how officials responded. In 2020, information about election administration and alleged irregularities was filtered through an unprecedented constellation of government agencies, federally funded intermediaries, technology platforms, and media organizations, many of which explicitly sought to shape which narratives were visible and which were suppressed. When public and private actors collaboratively manage information flows in a way that systematically favors one side of an ongoing electoral dispute, the result is not merely biased messaging but a structural impairment of oversight, legal accountability, and public consent.
