Experts warn public to be ‘vigilant’ consuming information online while awaiting election results

While votes are being counted across the country, experts warn that “bad actors” both “inside and outside of our borders” will be hard at work sowing seeds of doubt -- particularly on social media. Those taking to Facebook and Twitter to get and share information on Tuesday night should bring along a healthy dose of skepticism.
