You’ve likely gone and voted and are now watching the results as they unfold. But what if it wasn’t the issues and polls that informed your vote, but rather the headlines floating around the Internet? What if a click was a vote?

Visual Revenue helps those in digital media look at what stories and features of their homepage are being used and how (disclosure VentureBeat has used Visual Revenue). It watched a number of outlets to see what kinds of headlines got the highest click-through-rates and asked how the election would turn out if each of those clicks was actually a vote for the candidate features in that article.
