In the end, what’s most remarkable about the campaign against Oregon’s wildfire map isn’t that misinformation found an audience.

On Facebook, more than 6,000 people joined a private group, ODF Wildfire Risk Map Support, a base of opposition.
A ProPublica reporter identified himself to the group’s participants, asking in June for evidence that they’d been harmed by the state’s map.
