Vote.gov is aware of the traffic. It redirects you to your state website to actually register. Those websites would only see traffic from vote.gov, not anything from a tracking URL.
Vote.gov uses custom links to see what is effective in getting people to register to vote so they can continue doing that, as that's their mandate.
As a note, this is 10x as many people signing up same day then in 2022 when she directed people to vote.org
Yep, just now realizing my mistake. Thanks, I’ll edit!
The article itself says:
Edit: I had clicked the wrong link. OP’s headline is thankfully correct!
That was 2022, when she used the vote.org link, which is a charity that registers people to vote. Yesterday, she used vote.gov, which is a government service that redirects people to their local state registration services.
OPs headline is the same as the article from this year, and is accurate as it lists referrals, which is what vote.gov does.
Think that's because this time it's a “vote to defend me” kind of situation?
Nope. At no point did she ask her fans to "vote to defend me."
She expressed her political opinions, and extolled them to express their own several times, then dropped a link about registering to vote.
She basically said "I believe this and will be voting for Harris. You should think about what you believe, and then vote for that. Here is how you register to vote."
Pretty chill and reasonable, honestly.
Oh sorry I meant this:
I imagined your average Swiftie saying:
She definitely didn’t ask anyone, but if your favorite person says someone wronged you and says what they’re going to do, that’s a very attractive bandwagon.
Her post was flawless.
I think her fans are probally not happy about that, but it was pretty small part of the overall post. I read that as more her responding to the misinformation about her than a direct "they wronged me, get them!" She certainly isn't happy about AI fakes though, and not just from the Trump campaign. Musk also allowed Twitter to host a viral wave of fake porn of her a bit ago before it got a lot of outrage in the media, so this may also be a clap back about how irresponsible the GOP side of aisle is being with AI.
I'd expect her fans to have a stronger inclination to overall agree with supporting reproductive rights and the various other points she championed over a sense of retribution, but it may play a part.
