Laws in some states prevent citizens from taking photos or video while voting or at a polling place. However, because of the ease of technology now (tiny video cameras, cell phone cameras), people are going to do it anyway. And they’re going to publish those videos and photos for everyone in the world to see. YouTube has launched its own Video the Vote project, where they intend to make the “largest library of Election Day experiences, ever.” In addition, two wikis exist for voters to help document problems with voting: the Voter Suppression Wiki and the Election Protection Wiki.
