Vote for Facebook
Facebook has just this morning added an “Election” feature that allows members to search for office candidates for the Senate, House, and Governorship. Students can add them to their list of “Candidates I Support.” Currently, about 1,600 office candidates running for election this November have profiles, which are controlled by the politicians themselves.
From the Facebook blog:
We wanted to do something to increase the political voice of the people on Facebook, a group that tends to be on the younger side of the electorate and which is often underrepresented in Washington and state capitals. By bringing politicians to Facebook, you can engage with candidates on your turf, in ways that are familiar and meaningful to you. Where better for politicians to meet you guys than on the “series of tubes” where you spend so much time?
