Got a complaint? Tell the widget

A Philadelphia public relations whiz will collect stories of Election Day problems in Philadelphia using a web-based "widget" that anyone can download and feature on their site. Rob Stuart's device is pop-up form that anyone can fill out to briefly detail a problem they encountered. The device automatically "collects and catergorizes complaints and then shares voter stories with a network of election protection groups," Stuart said. Those groups include Voter Action, Committee of Seventy, NAACP Voter Fund and the National Lawyers Committee for Election Protection. The widget also promotes the 1-866-MYVOTE hotline, which provides polling places and records verbal complaints. Anyone can grab the widget for their own page at voterstory.org.
