This Girl Used Tinder To Get Out The Vote

And it was the best thing ever.

This Girl Used Tinder To Get Out The Vote
Nora Baron

The election just passed, and everybody is still reeling from it. While some may be worried about the aftershock, many of us were working hard to make sure one of the candidates got elected or that people just used their constitutionally-given right to vote.

Among these people was Nora Baron, who, while she wasn't volunteering directly with a campaign or a party, worked hard to turn people out to the polls to vote on election day. She didn't do this by making phone calls or block walking. Instead, she did this in probably the most unique way possible — by using her Tinder profile.

First thing was first, she changed her Tinder bio.

"Remember to vote, y'all 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸" and, "Show me your 'I voted' sticker/you at the polls and we can go on a date," her profile bio read.

Then, she began messaging every single guy she had ever matched with — all 247 of them — with a reminder to go vote in the presidential election. The reactions varied.

Some thought she was using it as a pick-up line:

"No, Frank."

Some took her kind message gracefully and responded kindly.

One guy questioned her reasoning for using a dating app to remind people to vote:

A couple of men told her of their ineligibility to vote:

Canadians, man.

"Apparently wearing other people's skin is illegal" — I personally find serial killers fascinating and inappropriate jokes hilarious, so this one is honestly my favorite response.

Others informed her that they simply didn't care to vote:

Every guy named Preston that I've ever heard of has been rude, so this one didn't really surprise me. By the way: it is a civic duty and a right.

Some guys decided that since her reminder was on Tinder, they were going to use the app for what it was truly meant for:

One guy had a little fun with it:

After all of that, she actually ended up getting a few people to go to the polls and vote:

She might've even met her dream man:

And then there's Sam, who simply had the perfect response to Nora's "friendly reminder":

And yes, she did actually give them her snapchat, got multiple pictures of the "I voted" stickers, and got a few dates out of all of this — even though her only intention was to get people to the polls!

And after all of that, this is what somebody had to say about these messages:

I agree, Jessie.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
