Pornhub traffic doubled in D.C. on Election Day

The youth vote was a big part of the results of the midterm elections. After Election Day, there's one metric yet to be explored: PornHub views.

During the presidential election two years ago, PornHub traffic dropped by 11 percent around 6PM. Traffic decreased but not as much. At 6 and 7 p.m., the tube site dropped seven percent. After 4 p.m., traffic was lower than average for the night.

The data was separated out by state. Washington, D.C., saw a huge increase in traffic on Election Day. Traffic on a typical Tuesday was lower than on Nov. 8. Maybe staffers needed to relax a bit.

In Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Colorado, traffic decreased by 4%, 10%, and 11 percent, respectively. These hot-button elections seem to be the best way to get people off PornHub.
