Welcome to the 3rd phase of the Research Project. The goal for this stage is to summarize your sources, especially the information, arguments, or quotes you might use in your paper. This is a very important and time-consuming step since this will be the only information you are allowed to use for your paper, aside from your own thoughts and analysis. Thus, this phase amounts to 6% of your final grade.
Begin by reading your sources carefully, and then download the Annotated Bibliography Worksheet. . In this worksheet, you will begin each page with the MLA citation of the source you are summarizing. You will then summarize each source generally in 200 words or less (400 words or less for Source 1). Next, you will list up to 5 specific facts, quotes, or statistics from the source that you might use in the paper (up to 10 specifics facts for Source 1). This does not need to be written with any formal style or formatting as it is essentially your “notes” for each source. The goal is to record the information you need from your sources in whatever way works best for you.
Once you have completed the worksheet, submit the document to Canvas. Each source will be graded based on the quality of the summary and information drawn from it. You do not have to summarize the entire source, only the parts you will rely on for the paper. I will be looking to see how thoroughly the relevant information is summarized and how well the summaries match the source itself. Avoid summaries that are too brief and fail to include all the relevant information. Also avoid summaries that are too long and include unnecessary information for your paper. Keep the paper outline in mind when you are determining what to include in your summaries.
Resubmissions are not permitted for this assignment, so please make sure to spend adequate time and energy to complete the assignment successfully the first time.

The Influence of Misinformation on Voting Behavior and Trust in U.S. Democratic Institutions
This study will look at how misinformation affects the voting process and citizens’ confidence in the democracy of the United States of America. Namely, it will examine misinformation during more recent election periods and its implications for what voters believe about the outcomes, the process, and the honesty of the electoral process, as well as confidence in governmental organizations.
Theory and Interest Summary
This research will focus on two key areas:
1. whether misinformation affects the turnout of voters and increases political polarization; and
2. How misinformation impacts people's trust in democracy, including in Congress, the presidency, and the judiciary.
The study will use subtopics to highlight the impact of misinformation on changes in political participation and perceptions of government.
I chose this topic to address the issue of increased reliance on false information and its potential threat to democracy. Political actors constantly spread half-truths; social networks, in particular, have become a powerful force capable of polarizing large groups of voters. Because people turn to social media as their foremost source of information, I deem it essential to figure out how misinformation influences people’s voting choices and their confidence in democracy.
Based on these questions and research hypotheses, I expect to find that mass inaccuracies do not only impact individual votes but also undermine people's beliefs in the democratic system. This factor undoubtedly poses a threat to the stability of democratic institutions. This study will contribute to our understanding of the social consequences of misinformation. Its focus will demonstrate how misinformation shapes both voting decisions and attitudes toward government. It may also suggest that regulations or relevant policies should intervene and act as an opposing force to society, ensuring that people receive accurate and useful content. In this regard, this study is timely and relevant. It sheds light on the connections between misinformation, political behavior, and health in today's American democracy.
