This is cool, but seems to me to be very especially vulnerable to the Observer Effect. Any fluctuation in these search terms that shows up here will cause people to try and find out more by searching for those terms themselves.

I immediately went to DuckDuckGo, and "!n voter intimidation". Now I'm part of the problem, apparently :)
