Twitter Vote Report is a non-partison network of people working to capture the experience of voting—long lines, broken machines, errors in registration, etc.  It works by having individuals all over the country report on their experience.

You submit a report a number of ways:

By Twitter: Post a tweet that includes the hashtag #votereport. More tags.

By Text Message: Send a text message starting with #votereport to 66937 (MOZES).

By Phone: Call the automated hotline at 567-258-VOTE (8683) or 208-272-9024 with any touch-tone phone.

By iPhone/Android Phone: Download the iPhone App or find the “votereport” app in the Android marketplace.

The result is live montoring of collective experience. How cool is that?
So don’t forget to vote, and when you do, report on it!
