Tweet the Vote

Tweet Your Voting Moment - The Caucus Blog - NYTi 102708:

Standing in line for a long time at polls on Tuesday? Did you get turned away because you wore a T-shirt emblazoned with your candidate’s name? Are there machine problems, identification issues?

There are a number of legal and civic groups already in position to help, with their own phone lines and experts standing by.

But in addition, if you’re tech-savvy enough and use Twitter, or text, you can report your problems directly online through Twitter. Or you can simply tweet your experience at #votereport at the Twitter.com site. (It’s not live yet, but we’re told it should be soon.)

A number of organizations have banded together for this project, as a way of enlisting on-the-ground information as it unfolds. Among those groups are techPresident.com, the Election Protection Coalition, Rock the Vote, Credo Mobile, Common Cause, Plodt, YouTube, Twittervision, NPR’s Social Media Desk, The Center for Community Change, PBS, Video the Vote, Election Suppression Wiki, Women Donors Network, and Demos.
