This isn't the first time we've seen Facebook entrench itself into the 2016 election. Just last week, it was revealed that Facebook's voter registration push from Sept. 23 to 26 aligned with a significant increase in the actual number of people who registered to vote.

This election has already seen some of the highest levels of conversation on Facebook. It was the most talked about topic in 2015, Facebook announced in December.

In am email, a Facebook spokesperson said:

This feature allows anyone on Facebook to show their support for a candidate by writing and sharing an 'endorsement' explaining why they support them. This is a good way for people to voice their support for a candidate - if they so choose - and learn more about where their friends and family stand. The post will appear on the candidate's page under the Endorsements tab and as a News Feed post with the privacy settings specified by each person. Public endorsements appear on a candidate’s page if they choose to list them.
