Twitter is rolling out its biggest push yet to encourage more Americans to cast their ballots in the November election.

Over the years, social media companies have shown they can turn out the vote by marshaling their girth. Studies show that nudging voters with notifications or getting them to post"I voted" buttons on their timelines can increase turnout at the ballot box.

Jennifer Grygiel, a communications professor at Syracuse University who studies social media, warns these voter drives may come with hidden agendas and problems. A campaign on Instagram could skew turnout younger or more liberal while a campaign on Facebook could skew turnout older and more conservative, they said.

Twitter says the goal of Tuesday’s campaign is to put voter registration resources at its users’ fingertips in the run-up to this year's highly contentious election cycle in which a record number of Americans are expected to vote by mail due to the coronavirus pandemic. While 9 in 10 people who use Twitter say they plan to vote in the November election, over half say they still need more information about the candidates on the ballot.

If you are stupid enough not to already be registered and ready... than your dumb ass has no clue about candidates. People who are this dumb shouldn’t vote in the first place, because they have no clue what they are really voting for🤷🏻‍♀️
