On Tuesday voters did not just turn out in droves to cast their votes for the next president of the United States. They also took to social media and let the world know which candidate they voted for
22 percent of registered voters let others know how they voted on a social networking site, primarily Twitter or Facebook, reports the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Interestingly, there was a stark generational divide, with young voters more vocal about their voting choices than older voters.
29 percent of those under 50 announced on their social media networks how they voted or planned to vote, while only 17 percent of those 50 and older revealed their voting choices on social media.
