Going a step beyond voting, people are using their video cameras and even cell phones to document voter intimidation, long lines, voter equipment problems, and to keep tabs of what's going on during the election.  

Video the Vote was inspired by American Blackout, a movie about voter suppression, and encourages citizens to film the vote.  Going one step further in futuristic media coverage, YouthNoise and Veeker are presenting Veek the Vote. A Veek is apparently a video taken with a cell phones (a video peek) and people are encouraged to take video peeks at their local elections and upload them.  People can then not only view streaming videos from people's cell phones, but can embed the veek the vote player on their site.  Actually, I'm going to do that right now.  Let's seek how it goes.
