If you are a candidate who would like to be participating in #twittercongress, post on the first tweet to jump in.
Tonight we will have a guest host @MD01YouthAFC (Speaker of the Virtual House).
They will be posing the questions and passing the virtual microphone.
Candidates on #twittercongress will answer in turn and end their answer with a "#". After the "#", the host will swing in and pass to the next candidate.
If you don't see your candidate and would like to, send them this thread and challenge your candidate to join.
This is your opportunity to see your candidate work with colleagues. Let's see how well we collaborate, problem solve and work together.
The best ideas are the ones we haven't yet found - let's fix that!

I have tonight off. Your host will be back at 9:00 pm EST to hand the floor to the first candidate in #twittercongress
Until then, please share this thread and help grow our audience.
Are the voting systems in your state connected to the internet? If not already on paper ballots is there a paper back up?
We are not connected to the internet and we do have a paper back up. We can actually recreate the votes.
Thanks to everyone who participated! We are ending to forum for tonight but make sure to look out for the next one! #twittercongress
