On Election Day, Twitter Your Vote

November 4th, 2008

As you’re voting on Tuesday, don’t forget to post your experience at the Twitter Vote Report — the folks behind it, include many of the techPresident crew along with some great organizations, have put together a site to collect reports from around the country. All you have to do is use the “#votereport” hashtag in your Tweet and the system will automatically display it on the Vote Report site (NPR also has instructions for participating if you’re not on Twitter). Cool idea — it’s a way to aggregate information from across the country and put it out in a single forum for journalists and voting rights advocates to see. Threat Level will also be collecting reports of voting problems, and of course thousands of Americans will record their experiences in their own ways. Hell of a year so far, and we’re not quite done.
