In the 2010 U.S. election, Google and YouTube partnered on
a series of debates in key races across the country to
empower citizens to ask questions directly
to the candidates.
Hundreds of questions were submitted through the Google
moderator on YouTube platform, and thousands of votes were
cast by citizens to determine which questions
should be asked.

Google Moderator on YouTube has democratized the political
