The platform is designed to allow users to share and view opinions on presidential elections, addressing the issue of skewed polling in contemporary media. It ensures vote verification through U.S.-based phone numbers and emails using Twilio SMS and SendGrid, promising accurate polling data. After voting, users are redirected to candidate-specific merchandise stores, developed on Shopify, which currently contain mockups for the 2020 election. The system, built on React, can be adapted for any presidential election. Highlights of the platform include an interactive and streamlined user interface, targeted marketing capabilities, and potential for viral distribution. The website facilitates email and phone number list generation, low operational costs through automatic imports to Shopify, and uses a POD provider to handle shipping and inventory. The primary demographic is individuals interested in political elections, an inherently large audience that benefits from the interactive and engaging nature of the platform while supporting presidential candidates through merchandise purchases. This online experience not only provides users a means to support their chosen candidates but also generates valuable marketing data. Initially developed for the 2020 presidential election, the site was launched shortly before the election, resulting in limited growth but successfully generating a mailing list of 670 users. With more strategic allocation of time and resources to email marketing and campaign targeting, the platform has significant potential for development.
