TUMBLR TUESDAY: DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION EDITION

If you didn’t catch all the Republican National Convention coverage last week on our official Election blog, here’s your chance to catch up — and of course, now it’s the Democrats’ turn. New blogger boots on the ground for the DNC include Aminatou Sow, Jason Oberholtzer, and Tag Savage, as well as Tumblr executive editor Jessica Bennett.

A few highlights from the RNC:

And of course special thanks to Hard in the Paint’s “Hope Nails,” pictured above. Make sure to follow the Election blog for everything DNC-related this week, and all things electioneering in the weeks to come.
