New York Times Caucus Blog Says “Tweet Your Voting Moment”

Posted Oct 28, 2008 at 7:33 pm by Nancy Scola

The New York Times’ Kate Phillips recently dedicated a post on the Times’ in-house politics blog the Caucus to highlighting Twitter Vote Report’s new approach to election reporting:

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.

Making Twitter Vote Report a success is going to require a critical mass of people tweeting what they’re seeing on the ground this election. A prominent mention on the New York Times website certainly can’t hurt that effort, and so we’re much appreciative.
