aylor Swift's Endorsement of Kamala Harris Has Resulted in a "400% to 500% Increase" in Voter Registration

https://consequence.net/2024/09/taylor-swift-kamala-harris-endorsement-voter-registration/

After Tuesday nights presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Taylor Swift took to Instagram to officially endorse Harris for the 2024 election. In the following 24 hours, nearly half a million people visited Vote.gov, the official government website where United States citizens can register to vote (learn more on how to register here).
As reported by Elizabeth Wagmeister (a CNN entertainment correspondent) and Betsy Klein (CNNs Senior White House Producer), 405,999 people were referred to Vote.gov directly from Swifts Instagram page. Such a number dwarfs the websites usual traffic, which averages about 30,000 visitors per day.

Update: According to data firm TargetSmart, Swifts endorsement has led to a 400% or 500% increase in voter registration between 9,000-10,000 people per hour.

Does the age to vote vary by state or is there a unified age across all states?

This is a boon for Democrats. However, we must NOT be complacent over this as things can still change in 2 months. Better to focus on getting out the votes we need to defeat Trump and the GOP. Let's create a blue wave so big that not even the cultists can outright deny it no matter what.

Yea, the work has to be done and people need to show up to work. As hard as it is to believe this is going to be a closer race than it has any right to be. It doesn't help that the conservatives are putting out fake polls to boost their fundraising and benefit Trump when he attempts to steal the election.

I didn't bother watching the debate live because I knew it wouldn't effect my vote (it would take Kamala saying something truly horrific, and I definitely would have heard about it before election day had anything of that nature been said), but I did come here right after it ended to see if there were any funny highlights of stupid crap Trump said. The first post debate thread I saw was one with Taylor endorsing Kamala. Part of me was sad that we live in a society where I was pretty sure that was going to have a bigger impact on the election than the debate, but at this point I don't care because the election is too important and her impact is in the right direction.

Told my enlightened family about this because I knew the reaction would be hilarious, and they didnt disappoint. The response was none of Taylor Swifts fans are over the age of 17, so all of these registrations are fraud.

The MAGA cult really do not live in reality and are beyond help.

They don't actually believe this, they are just in a constant state of bitter troll mode and refuse to ever admit it and will rage in hot anger when you prove it to them.

It's unified across all states. The 26th Amendment to the Constitution (passed in 1971) lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

They know that the general population of the U.S. would have them over a barrel if they didnt pull shit like the electoral college or invalidating registered democrats registration.

Tons of registered democrats just now realized that their registration suspiciously disappeared in red states.

9000-10000 per hour is pretty ridiculous. Unsure how long that's lasted, but even if a few days, that's 500k or more people. And if 80% of them vote, and don't vote Republican, that's a huge swing towards Democrats.

Nothing would please me more than seeing a Sweeping Landslide Victory for the Democrats this Election to make it so that even the Supreme Court can't wiggle the Republicans out of this one.

I am still not getting my hopes up though, I did that once in 2020, and thankfully Biden still won, but it was so much closer than I would have expected. While I do think that Harris might do better than Biden did. It is because of past experience, I know better than to fill myself with hope.

Yep. I'm tired of people trying to spin doomerism as being realistic. It's not. 2016 was a fluke. And even then Hillary only NARROWLY lost by the slightest of margins AFTER 20+ years of horseshit slung at her and Comey October surprising her a week before the election.

In the past 30 years, we have had 3 republican presidential terms, only 1 has been by popular vote. Seems more on purpose than accident...

Seriously this. Like I get more voters is good. I know its a sort of however we can get people to vote should be celebrated but its seriously pathetic THIS is what it took. Like before people didnt think it was important enough until Taylor said it? I find that fucking pathetic and it just shows how easy it is to manipulate the average voter.

So when CE complains in topics about how people can possibly vote Republican? shit like this is how. If someone can see all the shit going on and still not be able to make an informed decision but when a celebrity they like tells them to then they do? Even though in this case it works out for Democrats and thats a good thing its fucking scary this is how easy the average voter can be swayed.

Which is why people believe talking points and all the lies politicians say. Its that easy to manipulate them which is why we will always be in this close battle of left vs right, blue vs red.
