Interviewed at the polls!
November 4th, 2008 Posted in From the Field, Volunteers Opportunities
PA League of Young Voters own Dylan Lampe was interviewed by WTAE while he waited in line to vote on Chatham’s campus.
Meanwhile, volunteer Francine Porter was out interviewing voters about their voting experience and thoughts on the election.
Videos like these are being uploaded by the League as well as many other groups and individuals all across the county as part of the Video Your Vote project.

The Video Your Vote project is pretty cool, I heard that some of the videos are going to be played on PBS shows.
I’ve been working on an election project that utilizes Twitter: Freshly Squeezed Tweets. It aggregates tweets like Twitter Vote Report, but it creates a more abstract visualization of the aggregate conversation on Twitter showing frequency and context of election-related words. The site will pull a continuous stream of tweets mentioning Obama and McCain, representing the most-used terms as a series of bubbles. The bigger the “bubble” the more frequently the term is being used. You can hover over each word to see a graphical breakdown of each word’s use.
