It would appear to be "followers" in this case.
Now, let's see what Sutton Turner's Twitter profile looks like today.

So according to a WayBack Machine crawl from March 26, 2014 it looks like Sutton Turner had 1,627 followers and by today he landed 5,179 and that he's been on Twitter since April 2009.  What does a person do to gain about 3,500 extra Twitter followers in just barely more than five months?  Was the Result Source scandal good for adding followers to Turner's Twitter following?
