Midterms Midterms 2018 Tech Twitter Voting

Twitter’s #BeAVoter campaign had a brief, hilarious malfunction

sudshr47 November 1, 2018

Hey Twitter voters, find a time machine.

Twitter launched additional features for its #BeAVoter election campaign on Thursday. But even the best laid plans don’t always go off without a hitch.

One of the new features was a countdown to the election, along with a link to resources on where to vote.

But the countdown feature caused a bit of hilarious confusion. Some Twitter users reported that Twitter was reminding them to vote — in negative 17,819 days.

Very informative @Twitter banner. Make sure to get your votes in, 48 years agopic.twitter.com/QiBXNGfGkw

This dramatic faux movie trailer for ‘The #BlueWave’ wants you to vote in the midterms

sudshr47 October 23, 2018

Midterm elections are coming, and people are pulling out all the stops to inspire others to go out and vote.

For example, Portland-based media company Eleven Films created a faux movie trailer for “The #BlueWave” to get people pumped for the midterm elections.

The trailer recaps some of 2018’s most noteworthy political moments — from the Brett Kavanaugh hearing to nationwide protests to the #MeToo movement — and highlights candidates like Beto O’Rourke in Texas, Antonio Delgado in New York, and Stacey Abrams in Georgia. And yes, Taylor Swift makes an appearance.

Eleven Films claims it wasn’t paid to make the trailer, and was inspired to encourage voter turnout. Seems like a lot of editing was required, so the least you could do is vote on November 6. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Read more…
