What it’s Friday? And we’re still talking about Tuesday!? That’s because we've had fun, learned a lot and are proud of what we accomplished this year. Thank you for joining us on the journey so far. We'll be a bit quieter as we plan, ideate & build what's next for Deciding Vote.

Congrats to Gov. Kate Brown from @DecidingVote. We’re a proud Portland-based start up that had a role, albeit ice-cream sprinkle sized, in the #ORGov race for governor this year.

[Kate Brown @KateBrownForOR]

This election shows that when our values are on the ballot, Oregonians will come together and fight like hell to stand up for what we believe in. #OregonVotes #TeamKate #orpol

[Deciding Vote @decidingvote]

Wow! What a night!

- @KateBrownForOR was reelected with a 4.9% margin. By an even smaller margin of 2.6%.
- @SenTedCruz held onto his seat against @BetoORourke.
- All early reports of turnout have 2018 trumping 2014 - for young voters, total voters and everything in between.

[Deciding Vote @decidingvote]

Will this be the election that changes the model for turnout among young people?

@washingtonpost What are some reasons you’re turnout out this year? #TurnoutForWhat #Elections2018 #BeAVoter

#Thread 3/3

[Deciding Vote @decidingvote]

Why is voting this Tuesday so important? Here are a few reasons:

✅ A record number of women are nominated to run for Congress
✅ All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for grabs
✅ Midterms often swing the majority in the House

#Thread 1/3

[Deciding Vote @decidingvote]

According to the @WashingtonPost: "many midterm elections have been at least as important as the majority of our presidential elections, if not more important. In some cases, they have resulted in seminal legislation that reshaped America."

P.S. The correct answer to yesterday's #Halloween #NameThatTune contest was the oldie but goodie: Sound of Music!

[Deciding Vote @decidingvote]

Hey! It’s Halloween 🎃 so let’s have a little fun 🎉… Can you name this tune?

Hot apple cider and midterm elections,
Mailing in ballots and smart “About” sections,
Engaged citizens and early voting ...
These are a few of our favorite things!
