Midterm Monitor
New online tool helps track election topics and trends on social media
By Maya Kornberg and Rachael Dean Wilson
Two nonprofit organizations have developed the Midterm Monitor, a free tool that can help election officials track narratives on social media about the midterms, both the messages’ content and their popularity. The Midterm Monitor has been collecting data since early summer and has already captured close to 40,000 posts related to voting and elections.
What Is the Midterm Monitor?
The Alliance for Securing Democracy at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law created the Midterm Monitor for public use, designed to surface and sort election administration narratives that can impact election officials. The monitor captures election-related posts and associated metrics from select accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.
