More tweets, more votes: Social media as a quantitative indicator of political behavior. PLoS ONE, 8 (11), [1-5].2. DESCRIBE THE MAIN PURPOSE OR PROBLEM PRESENTED IN THIS ARTICLE (5 POINTS): The main purpose of this article is to examine the correlation between the frequency with which a politician's name appears on social media and the results subsequent elections. The article examines 542,969 tweets mentioning candidates for the United States House of Representatives in the 2010 and 2012 elections, and compares this data to the candidates' electoral performance. Researchers present findings that indicate a politician's popularity in the voting booth may be linked to how often the candidate is talked about on social media. The researchers go on to explain how further research might conclude that social media has a greater impact on voting outcomes than traditional forms of media, and how this could potentially shape the future of voting.3. LIST THE ASSUMPTIONS OR RESEARCH QUESTIONS (5 POINTS): The main hypothesis here is that the more an electoral candidate's name appears on social media, the more votes that candidate will receive. The researcher proposes that there will be a positive relationship between statistics on the number of times a congressional candidate's name appears on Twitter and the percentage of votes the candidate receives in the election, and that the same Results will occur in two separate elections. If these results are correct, it may indicate that social media could be a predictor or influencer of...... middle of paper ...... has so much power. The results of this research could be used by activists to try to swing an election in their favor, thereby creating unfair bias within Parliament and denigrating the ideals of democracy. Regarding the research itself, I believe that the sample was selected appropriately; however, results may change if posts from other social media sites were included. It would also be interesting to see whether further research on other elections, not just those for the US Congress, would produce the same results.RESOURCESShaffir, W. (1986).
