LilaTovCocktail: NE Ohio Cubicle Dwellers: 3 ways to track what's happening at the polls from your desk

11/4/08

1. Your browser. Keep a browser tab open to WKYC.com's election blog. Refresh the page periodically. (If you know of a LOCAL news site that is updating more frequently, please let us know!) For national news: ProPublica's Vote Watch, Video the Vote, the Election Protection Coalition's Our Vote Live

2. twitter:

First, sign up for twitter and download a desktop twitter client (many are listed here. My favorite right now is twhirl: it's small, light & works on Win & Mac OS).
Second, once you're twittering, follow one or all of these twitter feeds for real-time voting news:

cdotcompolitics
866OURVOTE
VideoTheVote
votesuppression
nprpolitics

3. RSS feed. (I use Google Reader). Sign up for the RSS feeds at these websites:

(You can also visit these sites via browser).
