Voting Experience Wiki
The Balkinization website reports that:
Harvard professor Archon Fung's proposal for harnessing the power of the wiki to monitor election problems by creating "a real-time 'weather map' of voting conditions across the country." The site is now up and running, and I urge Balkinization readers to check it out. By enabling thousands of citizens to rate their voting experiences and identify problems, the site should be extremely helpful for election officials and campaigns trying to prevent modest glitches from developing into genuine problems, while enabling reporters to do a better job of reporting on conditions on the ground. Very few election systems in the U.S. have the capacity to engage in real-time monitoring, but myfairelection.com could well develop into such a system.

Balkinization is one of my favorite websites, and when reading the article this morning, noticed that it mentions this very site:
"Blogs like that Talking Points Memo, DailyKos, and Ben Smith's Politico blog should also take notice of this site."
I agree, but THAT Talking Points Memo?
