Democrats wrapped up their 2016 convention last night [Thursday, July 27] with words from the presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. Right after she spoke, the search for “register to vote” dominated Google—beating “Kim Kardashian” last night, CNBC reports.
Clinton made history last night while becoming the first woman to accept a presidential nomination for a major party. It could have been her words or the fact that both Republican and Democratic nominees had finished their pleas to the American public. Either way, a noticeable spike in voter registration occurred.
Earlier that day, Harper’s Bazaar premiered a cover story of couple Kardashian and Kanye West. Search results for Kardashian’s name peaked before declining around 7:30 p.m. But “register to vote” did not make a dent into her results in election-determining states until Clinton’s acceptance.
The term also gained more traction last night than during the GOP Convention.
