Half a Million Americans Attend Tax Day Tea Party ProtestsThe estimated number of participants in yesterday’s tea parties — sent in by citizen journalists who signed up to the site to enter attendance data from the event they participated in — currently stands at more than 551,000. More than 850 ordinary Americans signed up to report on their community’s protest. The number of participants will continue to rise as more of our field observers upload their photos and videos of the events and send us their attendance figures.
(Check here for the latest in crowd estimates based on eyewitness accounts, as well as police estimates. Crowd counting is not an exact science, but we feel confident in saying that PJTV has the most authoritative estimates of crowd size you’ll find anywhere.)
That headline is a few hours old. The current estimate is 617,568.
