Twitter Vote Report

In addition to the Video Your Vote and Video the Vote projects cited yesterday, describing two of the better-known efforts to monitor examples of voter disenfranchisement on Tuesday, here’s another option that requires just a cell phone and Twitter account.

Twittervotereport,
which was built by volunteers in partnership with techPresident, turns your phone into an on-the-spot volunteer election reporting
mechanism. The aggregate effect will be to visualize reporting problems
around the nation in real time. Election monitoring orgs have been striving for this for years.

Part of the project is an application for the new G1/Android phone that uses your GPS location
to accurately track where you are reporting from. Very cool.
