The dissemination of video information on Internet has grown a billion fold since the 2004 elections, when YouTube hadn't even been put out yet. Zomg. Can you imagine what the polling places in Florida during the 2000 contests would have looked like if they were taped on the cellphone of everyone at the polling place? You would have seen grandma be all "No, I'm pretty sure I voted for that Al fellow" as her hanging chad gets quickly shuffled away. Then there would be a whole Marvel-style alternate universe where the past eight years never happened and Richard Branson had already taken us on his marvelous spaceship to colonize the moon.

But back to reality, citizen journalism as watchdogs are exactly what PBS and YouTube hope to achieve with their 'Video Your Vote' campaign, which encourages voters to "solicit, organize, stream and broadcast user-generated video from polling places around the nation on election day."

So if you see something, say something. And then post it on your blog, Twitter it, and give everyone a big old Facebook status update of any nefarious dealings at your local polling place.
