The aim of this study is to understand what impact exposure to fake news may have had on voter’s political ideologies and to examine whether criminal interference was involved. This study employs a survey which was delivered through social media platforms to Canadian voters in hopes to understand whether they were exposed to fake news, if it affected their ultimate voting decision, if they were the recipient of an election-related robocall, and what the nature of the robocall was. The results of four binary logistic regressions using survey data (N = 190) are used to explain how fake news can impact voter’s decisions.

Keghart.com Report, 22 November 2014 North American communities where Armenian voters have a significant presence can be counted on the fingers of one hand. But rather than utilize this strength, sometimes these Armenian communities—or their leadership—inexplicably sabotage their potential clout by splitting the Armenian vote at election time. Their modus operandi is often fielding two competing Armenian candidates. The ancient Greeks had a word for it: akrasia--acting against one's better judgment. The latest drama in this suicidal tradition is being enacted in the Montreal suburbs of Ahuntsic- Cartierville and Laval-Les Îles. Viken Attarian, a long-time Federal Liberal Party official, writer, scholar, public speaker, and community activist, is seeking nomination as the Liberal Party candidate in next year’s federal elections. Running against him for the nomination is Norair Serengulian, former president of the local Liberal riding association and a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF).
