- Scorecards so viewers can rate the candidates during the debate.
- Bingo cards, because at least one person should be happy when the candidates say, “China is a currency manipulator!”

- A quick and easy guide to the Show of Hands mobile app, which lets you answer survey questions as the debates happen and view results across the country.
