Monitor US elections live online
p2pnet news view | P2P | Politics:- The end of the US election process is the final week and judging by reports, it may already be a foregone conclusion with Barack Obama as the new president of the United States.
And thanks to OurVoteLive.org, anyone who’ s interested will be able to monitor what’ s happening live online.
Built and hosted for Election Protection, and billed as America’s largest non-partisan voter protection coalition.
“OurVoteLive.org collects and analyzes reports from calls to the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline, which is staffed by hundreds of volunteers across the country,” says the EFF.
It’s aimed at voters needing information or reporting problems such as registration and identification issues, difficulties with voting machines, and polling place accessibility issues.
OurVoteLive.org also features maps, nationwide trend information, and an active election issues blog that will highlight important election incidents as they develop.
“Election Protection has more than 100 partners at the national, state and local level and is providing live voter protection services now through Election Day across all 50 states,” says the EFF, adding:
“On November 4, Election Protection will mobilize tens of thousands of volunteers, including 10,000 legal volunteers to monitor polling places, educate voters, facilitate a dialogue with local and state officials, provide legal support to poll monitors, and answer the 1-866-OUR-VOTE voter services hotline — a monumental undertaking designed to ensure smooth voting in November.”
