  It has been widely recognized that automated bots may have a significant
impact on the outcomes of national events. It is important to raise public
awareness about the threat of bots on social media during these important
events, such as the 2018 US midterm election. To this end, we deployed a web
application to help the public explore the activities of likely bots on Twitter
on a daily basis. The application, called Bot Electioneering Volume (BEV),
reports on the level of likely bot activities and visualizes the topics
targeted by them. With this paper we release our code base for the BEV
framework, with the goal of facilitating future efforts to combat malicious
bots on social media.
