#CripTheVote Stats ... Wow

To get a clearer sense of the size and volume of #CripTheVote activity on peak days, we have started collecting tweet data during debate live tweets and scheduled chats. We are using a service called Keyhole. So 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 September 12, 2019, the day of the Third Democratic Presidential Primary Debate. It shows two major spikes in activity during the course of the 3 hour debate ... an early spike above 600 tweets, followed by a moderate drop-off, and a second spike over 1,000 tweets. followed by a drop off at and after the end of the debate.

And are some charts covering the last three debate live tweets. Since the first two debates were two nights, we came up with daily tweet averages for comparison with the single night Third Debate.

Crowdsourcing Disability Policy on 2020 Presidential Candidate Websites

The word LINKS spelled out on five blue colored cubes

In our ongoing effort to make the 2020 Presidential Election campaign a little easier for disabled voters to follow, we are asking #CripTheVote participants for help. We want to present and maintain an easily referenced collection of links directly to disability-relevant sections on candidate websites.

@4WheelWorkOut has complied an extensive list already and offered it to get us started. We have added the remaining candidates with links to their website home pages, and will add more disability-specific links from their websites as we identify them.

If you want to help, pick a candidate, visit their website, and send links to disability-related pages to: cripthevote@gmail.com.
