In this project, Dr. Lia Merivaki and myself track and monitor state and local election officials' communications on social media - Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and YouTube. We replicate our efforts from the 2022 election cycle (see our report here), and share summaries of communication efforts during the 2024 election cycle.
We thank the MIT Election Data Science Lab for funding this project during the 2022 cycle, Public Agenda for supporting our work during the 2024 cycle, and the Algorithmic Transparency Institute (ATI.io) for providing us with platform support.
