Pushshift just registered "electionmonitor.io" -- the goal will be to stand up a quick website that shows current metrics for the election using Twitter social media data. If you have any suggestions on what type of data to include, please let me know here.

The goal will be to show real-time statistics on Twitter tweets and to give an overview of what is happening on Twitter using tweets making reference to the election and election related terms (trump, biden, etc.)

I will be working over the next 8-10 hours to build out the site in time for this evening. Wish me luck! Feel free to offer ideas if you have them.

how sophisticated of linguistic processing is accessible in this endeavor (assuming some from this description) ?
possible to (to some degree) tabulate references to common occurrences to be expected eg closed polling places, instances of violence, long lines, etc ?

Sometimes -- I believe around 1.1% of all tweets have some type of geo-locational data. I have some endpoints up for the election monitor. Working as fast as I can to get something up by 7pm.
