Early ballots and how campaigns are using AI with Optiq Data Co-Founder Cole Patterson | LINK IN BIO
ALT Cole Patterson, co-founder of Optiq Data, shared his insight into how political campaigns in California are using artificial intelligence and provided a look at early ballot numbers ahead of the November election.

I keep shouting this from the rooftops whenever I can: over 50% of the audience activations in the Civiq platform have been generated with the assistance of AI. This is the beginning transformational shift in campaigns. The next 10 years will look nothing like the last 10.
How are political campaigns in California using AI tools?
@ColePatterson, co-founder of Optiq Data and new tool Civiq, said big examples are research & millions of voter contacts.
"This is going to lead to campaigns having a much more efficient way of talking to voters."

What I will be sure to do next time is say something about how by the time that viewers see this, there will be even more ballots cast. When we filmed, there was over 500k returned, flash forward to today: there are over 1M cast, and likely to be over 2M very soon. 65+ and up still over 57% of electorate so far though.
Many of the voters who have turned in their ballots so far in California are at least 65 years old.
Co-founder of Optiq Data @ColePatterson explains what we can expect in the coming weeks:

Thanks for having me on, @ZavalaA. AI is significantly changing how campaigns research races and talk to voters. Excited about what this means for teams up and down the ballot in California.

Last December I was demoing an early build of Civiq to a few trusted @optiqdata partners. It was maybe 75% there, election season was starting in just a few weeks, and I had no intention of shipping it this cycle.
They convinced me otherwise and we launched just over a month later.
700M+ audience contacts activated since. We'll be close to a billion by the end of 2026.
Proud to support some of the biggest campaigns and initiatives in California this year.
Grateful to every team that bet on us!

For those waiting for something to happen, it will probably be another 5 or 6 days (21ish days out from E-Day) until we start seeing some real tangible metrics to work with statewide. So go outside, touch some grass and enjoy your weekend. Don't worry the bot will keep posting!

Some fun things will be happening on the @CiviqData account soon.
For those who have used our ballot tracking previously, this will be the new home for all of that and more.
