Crowd-sourcing to Clean up Elections and Foil Chad
Frogloop, November 26, 2006
I just stopped by to offer a followup on the Veeker/YouthNoise project, VeekTheVote 2006 that you featured above.
In just a few days after launch, we received over 750 veeks from average Americans from all regions of the nations. These veeks featured polling places (and irregularities therein), poll workers, activists, non-voters, and people just talking about their experiences and their motivations to vote. It was a very richly textured display of the American response to Election Day 2006.
A Member of Congress took some of her precious time (she's now a senior leader in the Majority Party) to offer her congratulations. "I appreciate the work that activists from across the country, like those on VeekTheVote.com, have done to identify existing problems, and to help protect the rights that we all enjoy," states recently re-elected U.S. Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) about Veek the Vote 2006.
I think that you were right on the money when you posted, "it looks like the voting process is in for some major changes in the near future". -

Veek the Vote: young people smartmoblog the USA election
Smartmobs.com, November 22, 2006
Youthnoise, a "youth-based social network for social change," bills itself as "an activist haven, a socially conscious sanctuary." During the recent US election, Youthnoise teamed up with Veeker, a mobile video and photo website/service, to "Veek the Vote" -- young citizen journalists were asked to ask people why they voted, capture their answers via the video cameras in their telephones, and email the videos to "vote@veeker.com." Within minutes, the videos were online for inspection and discussion. As I've been suspecting lately, participatory media might be a great way to introduce young people to the pleasures and powers of civic engagement.
