Las Vegas, Nevada – The Nevada Republican Party is proud to announce a partnership with Twitter and Google to implement new and innovative methods of reporting election results for the February 4th Nevada Caucuses. Our partnership will allow Nevadans to receive up to the second results, whether on the web or their mobile phones, in the first ever use of social media to exclusively deliver election results directly to Nevadans. Nevada GOP will also implement a shareable Google result map to visualize live election results as they come in from across the state. Our new media partnerships will also work hand in hand with traditional media outlets to ensure all interested parties are able to receive up-to-date and reliable election results.
“We are proud to announce our partnership with Twitter and Google,” said Nevada Republican Party Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian. “We understand that technology is a crucial part of how our party communicates with voters, so we’re ready to set a trend. The Nevada Republican Party is the first state in the nation to officially release returns in this manner.”
“Nevada has an important role as the first in the West caucus, the first state awarding delegates in February, and the first and only state to be awarded a full slate of delegates to the Republican National Committee. Not only will Nevada be a crucial state in determining the Republican nominee, I believe that after three years of disappointment from Barack Obama, Nevada will be doing our part to also make Obama a one-term president,” Tarkanian continued.
"Twitter is the real-time source for the election — a unique role reinforced by this partnership with the Nevada Republican Party and CAP Public Affairs to make Twitter the official reporting mechanism of the 2012 First in the West Nevada Caucuses. Releasing the Nevada caucus results directly on Twitter, as they happen, encourages innovation in electoral transparency and makes the political process even more accessible forNevadans."
"Google is excited to work with the Nevada Republican Party and CAP Public Affairs on the First in the West Caucuses. Our Google Map will show statewide and county level-results in real-time at www.nevadagop.org. Media will also be able to embed the results map on their own websites. We look forward to a successful and exciting caucus."
