Pierpont Uses Interactive Video to Reach Maryland Voters
Senate candidate Ross Pierpont tested an interactive video system at East Point Mall in Baltimore to answer questions and gather voter feedback ahead of the March 3 primary. The device, built by ASV Inc, lets passersby press a screen to view Pierpont’s one minute policy videos and answer a seven-question poll. Campaign officials say the tech offers instant feedback and broader reach, though consultants doubt mass impact or cost effectiveness. Pierpont, a former House candidate and physician, is among 15 Republicans seeking the nomination.
