    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A liberal political advocacy group said Monday that it had bought up two website domains to steer young voters away from the leading GOP candidates: former President Donald Trump and former U.N.

    For example, their views on abortion — which during the 2022 midterms was “the top issue influencing” the youth vote, according to the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University.

    The organization said its goal is to reach at least half a million people in key states (such as Michigan, North Carolina and Florida) where young voters have significant power to sway election outcomes.

    “Trump and Haley aren’t doing any sort of outreach on these platforms in a way that authentically communicates their views on abortion, climate change, gun violence and other top issues.

    In 2020, social media users persuaded thousands to reserve tickets to a Trump rally without planning to attend, resulting in his coming out to rows of empty seats.

    When former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina entered the Republican presidential primaries in 2016, an internet troll bought CarlyFiorina.org and flooded it with 30,000 sad emoticons to represent the number of people laid off at HP during her tenure.
