Here are updated #CripTheVote chat statistics showing participation and impact numbers for the four debates so far. We are using a service called Keyhole to track this. If you are into numbers and statistics, read ahead!

Note:

“Tweets” includes the number of original tweets, retweets, and replies.
“Users” is the number of people who participated over the measured span of time.
“Engagement” is the number of times people either retweeted or replied to tweets.


This Timeline graph shows #CripTheVote tweet volumes over the course of the October 15, 2019 Fourth Democratic Presidential Primary Debate. It shows a very large and steep increase in participation and a matching drop-off in participation over the course of the debate.
