It looks like the word is spreading about it so hopefully it'll make vote supression and misuse of the voting machines harder to do.

I'm voting by mail, but I'm also taking work off to take Senior Citizens to vote on the 4th.
I'll film it.

This could end up being an amazing historical document, as well as revealing to us outside the US who don't see the voting process first-hand.
Great idea - shame about the wobbly promo video!

this is interesting, as the other day when I registered to vote, I recorded it. I guess this is the logical next step.

Thanks for this piece. After listening to Keith, Rachel and Chris today recording this election is so needed.

"Video Your Vote" was just mentioned on "Bill Moyers Journal".
It was recommended that you interview folks leaving the polls to see if they had problems of any kind.
I agree. - 3 years ago

I want to add that, since all involved parties are claiming potential voter fraud for this election, it's in our best interests to make sure all local tv, radio, internet and print media are involved in thoroughly covering each voter outlet.
The more involved, the less chance of any, not so, "funny business". - 3 years ago

i'd like the idea, but just in case if the FBI tries to find you, use a voice enhancer and wear a mask..police these days track you down for voting for this and that person....

Do you not think that would be somewhat counter productive? This whole idea is based on transparency of giving more facts about how people actually vote.
If you wear masks and distort your voice then it just gives an excuse for accusations of voter fraud.
If you have the guts to give the accurate facts and they still try to arrest you for them then that would be a lot bigger story to tell and more damaging to them than any excuses of voter fraud.

Can I use my cell phone ? I don't know if they would allow a video camera.

How about a Nixon mask? It worked great in the movie Point Break.
But seriously that is a good idea and would certainly be more conclusive than just exit polls.

Hmm.. sounds like an excellent idea, but I wonder, will this be allowed? Will the voter have to protest and make a scene to accomplish recording them voting...? I'd like to see this done.

Even a cell-phone video camera should do the trick, don't you think?

They should video themselves voting on the touchscreen and which polling station and voting machine they were at and using - if there are any doubts about the results, there might be a base for setting things straight via these videos and their number.
