If you've been wanting to meet an automated Reagan conservative who worries about our future by spamming Twitter with links to poorly-source articles about "voter fraud" on a website you've never heard of, @keichri is the account for you. #FridayFeeling

Almost all (98.5%) of @keichri's recent tweets are automated via dlvr(dot)it. This account has apparently dabbled in automation before, although at least two of the apps it was using have subsequently been shut down (erased7812941 and erased13330229).
The primary mission of @keichri appears to be to promote various right-wing websites, usually obscure ones. Almost all of its tweets since March 2020 link to speakingaboutnews(dot)com, with a previous three and a half year binge of spamming links to conservativeread(dot)com.
Many of @keichri's tweets contain hashtags as well as links to websites, with #TCOT being the most common. In recent days, it has focused on 2020 election hashtags, including conspiracy theory-related tags such as #HunterBiden, #BidenCorruption, #ElectionFraud, and #VoterFraud.
Although most of @keichri's followers look like random #MAGA accounts, there are some interesting anomalies in the 2013-2014 era where it appears to have been followed by various batch-created accounts with zero likes.
311 of @keichri's batch-created followers are (mostly dormant) automated accounts, mostly Russian-language. These accounts have tweeted via a whopping 149 different apps. We plan to further explore of this network/these networks and will post if we find anything interesting.
