2020 US Presidential Election Tweet IDs Release 1.3

# 2020 US Presidential Election Tweet IDs The repository contains an ongoing collection of tweets IDs associated with the 2020 United States presidential elections, with our data collection starting on May 20, 2019. We leveraged Twitter’s streaming API to follow specified accounts and also collect in real-time tweets that mention specific keywords. To comply with Twitter’s Terms of Service, we are only publicly releasing the Tweet IDs of the collected Tweets. The data is released for non-commercial research use. We currently have a backlog of historical twitter files that we are working on pre-processing and extracting Tweet IDs from; **we will be releasing both past and future data sets as the data becomes available and as we finish pre-processing the data. Thank you for your patience!** Note that the compressed files must be first uncompressed in order to use included scripts. This dataset is release v1.3 and is not actively maintained -- the actively maintained dataset can be found here: https://github.com/echen102/us-pres-elections-2020. This release contains Tweet IDs collected from **3/01/20 - 11/13/20**. Please refer to the README for more details regarding data, data organization and data usage agreement.
