This is one of the coolest web applications I've seen developed specifically for this election to help monitor reported voting problems. I would encourage any of you working with campaigns and in the field as poll watchers, poll workers etc to help voters know that this hotline is for their use. The number is toll free and at the same time the incident gets tracked and monitored. 866-OUR-VOTE
