I've also been appalled to see brazen registration-suppression efforts already launched by GOPers in Michigan, Ohio, Montana, and several Southern states. In the course of trying to pin down the truth about the Ohio 2004 vote fraud allegations, I kept running into the fact that claims about polling places are almost always his-word vs. her-word situations. And then came the TIGR-style brainstorm. So: today YouTube and PBS announced "Video Your Vote" -- a campaign to get Americans to share their voting experiences (along with any problems they encounter -- long lines, aggressive challenges, unexpected procedural hoops, etc.) via video. In addition to documenting a very exciting day in US history, the hope is that citizens will capture violations of voting rights and upload them instantly for the world to see.
