Clinton, Trump use Pokemon Go to catch voters - CNET

Pokemon Go has been almost literally everywhere this month, whether it's intruding on the local weather report or at a funeral or, uh, in your incognito tabs. So it was only a matter of time until the global phenomenon had an impact on electoral politics and, indeed, Hillary Clinton's website is now promoting a meetup and voter registration event at a PokeStop near Cleveland.

Here's the description for the event taking place this Saturday in Lakewood, Ohio, not far from where the Republican National Convention is set to start just two days later:

"Join us as we go to the Pokestop in Madison Park and put up a lure module, get free pokemon, & battle each other while you register voters and lea more about Sec. Hillary Clinton!!! Kids welcome!"
