Twitter, which dared to ask the world "What are you doing?", is now asking the multitudes to give on-the-ground reports of today's votes.
Twitter Vote Report, http://twittervotereport.com, gives up-to-the-minute reports of the 2008 election at the voting precincts.
Specifically, it asks users to submit information about how ballot locations are running.
Cell-phone-wielding Tweeters can text in reports of how long lines are and whether there are problems with machines or registration rolls.
To see how to enter information to the report, the codes and instruction videos are available at http://twittervotereport.com/how-to-help/.
If worse comes to worst, instructions on how to get help from the Election Protection Coalition are available at www.866ourvote.org.
The nonpartisan group gathers and provides information on voting irregularities and has election rules on its Web site.
