Unfortunately for the nihilists, there’s very little chance of any meteor hitting the United States between now and election day, which means we must fulfill our civic duty as citizens and cast our votes at the ballot box, even if the choices for our next President are received with little enthusiasm or positivity this time around.

Nevertheless, regardless of your political beliefs, your choice in candidate, and your opinions on emails, walls, China, and constitutional crises, there is one subject I’m certain we all can agree on: social media has been putting in work to get us out to the polls on November 8th.

In the days leading up to Election Day, Facebook has issued a popup on people’s accounts asking to favorite Presidential, Senatorial, and Congressional candidates based on where they live. While Facebook has a track record for political activism for the last few election cycles dating back to 2008, this year sees a host of other social platforms, both old and new, getting involved in the process.

Twitter, a preferred platform for political commentators, activists, and the Presidential candidates themselves throughout this election season, has been a hotbed for encouraging political activity for some time now. This is both in the form of automated programs participating in primaries and debates, and through the creators of the platform itself, who have promoted the hashtag #Election2016 in the hopes of increasing voter turnout.

Similarly, social platforms hosting more visually focused content, such as Snapchat and Instagram, have been important in getting out the vote. Hashtags on Instagram and celebrity endorsements of candidates and political memes have made their rounds across user accounts, using a mixture of humor, outrage, and fear to get people to visit the polls. Others have even documented themselves participating in the democratic process — such as Justin Timberlake — though we don’t condone doing the same, since some states have laws against this.

Snapchat, on the other hand, has taken a different approach to raising voter awareness. Featured Stories on Snapchat by companies like Buzzfeed have regularly discussed the campaigns of both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, colleges have had campus Stories focusing around the three Presidential debates, and Filters have been created encouraging users to vote. It’s even likely you’ve seen Snaps by your friends of the Presidential candidates with the puppy filter on.

No matter the platform, it is evident that most, if not all, major social media companies have taken steps to actively influence voter turnout this election. So, as an American citizen, be sure to do your part come November 8th if you haven’t already, and make your voice matter.

There are a few different avenues through which our government can funnel money in order to address problems with cybersecurity. For instance, according to whitehouse.gov, the President plans to allocate $3.1 billion dollars in the 2017 fiscal budget towards Technological Modernization Funding. This ensures that governmental computer technology is up to date and functioning. This funding also helps support maximum computer security on this equipment.

The United States government is also investing in cybersecurity education for federal programs throughout the nation. The President plans to invest $62 million in this education. Among this funding will be scholarship programs for citizens who are wishing to break into the field of cybersecurity for the federal government.

Moreover, this funding will implement a Cybersecurity Core Curriculum that will ensure that cybersecurity graduates have what it takes to work for the federal government. The president’s budget is also incentivizing individuals to join the cybersecurity workforce by granting student loan forgiveness for those who are wishing to go into this field in the federal workforce.

Presidential debates are always heated.

For those viewers who don’t tune in on the night of the event, social media channels play a big role in keeping voters informed. Video footage of the candidates — usually shortened into quick videos or shared as photo memes — is particularly important this year. On social media, people are sharing clips from the debates in greater and greater numbers.

Social media is shaping the debates, as well. As users share their thoughts and questions for presidential candidates on Facebook, Snapchat, and Google, these channels are sharing these ideas and concerns with the debates’ moderators.

For example, during the first debate on September 26, 2016, users shared their thoughts with NBC News via Facebook and Google. The moderator, Lester Holt, then took into consideration trending search topics, likes, and re-posts to figure out which issues were most important to voters in the election. Facebook Live also plays a role in the debates. If you sign into Facebook during the presidential elections, you’ll be able to watch real-time video and tune into an interactive screen that displays ongoing conversations and trending topics in the debate.

Snapchat is also getting into the action by covering each debate as a “live story.” These live stories let users see different perspectives from students, volunteers, and others in a narrative format. The next two debates are on Sunday, October 9, and Wednesday, October 19. How will you use social media to interact with the candidates?
