1/ I wanted to send this earlier today, but who has the time?

So now presenting a thread: How The @TexasTribune has been helping its readers navigate the elections.

3/ We’ve partnered with @ElectionLand to find problems Texans are facing while trying to vote, and we’re doing stories like this one by @kbrooksharper texastribune.org/2020/10/29/tex…

7/ We did another @Twitter Q&A with @rossramsey about what to expect this year and why this Election Day is going to be so different. twitter.com/i/events/13135…

8/ It’s not just Twitter: We’re doing AMAs in places like Reddit, where our politics reporters took reader questions in live-time.

14/ We’re doing everything we can to reach our readers where they are.

We made an excellent guide to understanding Texas for our readers on Apple News

15/ And we’re prioritizing key voter information in as many places as possible — whether it’s embeds on our site made by our engineers or special sections in our newsletters.

16/16 That’s just a few examples.

I’m really proud of the work we’ve done this year.

We still have a few more days until Election Day. Please follow us at @TexasTribune for the latest.
