Twitter vote report for iPhoneOne really frustrating thing about this election period is that there just hasn’t been enough coverage, enough minute-sifting through every detail of every element of every day of the campaign. But now, you can help to solve this problem by contributing your own localized election day report with Twitter Vote Report for iPhone and iPod Touch.

The program takes your post, correlates it with your location data (the latter of which is required to use the program), and sends it to the Twitter Vote Report website, where other users can read your comments on line length, weather, general mood, or “voting irregularities.”
