Listened to the actual interview. No, there was not a 400% - 500% increase in registrations. There was that much increase in interest i.e. going to the website. We don't actually know how many of those people actually registered.

Thank you for clarifying.. all that being said, 400 - 500% increase in traffic to a website that provides information to folks about registering to vote is exactly what we need. I don't care who you want to vote for, just get involved

I care who people want to vote for.

If anyone watched that debate and thought “Yep, that dude who said immigrants are eating pets is my guy,” I’d really prefer they just don’t get involved.

Polls indicate that the majority of people who saw the debate thought kamala won, so probably most people who saw it and decided to register want to vote for the person they think won. And the part of the increase which happened because tswift endorsed kamala probably supports kamala as well. Like, shouldn't we support everyone who has any opinion on either voting because overwhelmingly they're leaning democrat?
