Laura Hertzfeld of PBS on the Video Your Vote Project with YouTube
Can video of your voting experience surface election trends--even from those watching outside the election area?
How can the Video Your Vote Map be used and repurposed?
Watch:
The Video Your Vote team on election night,
Laura's favorite video: Mrs. Venable, 99, in Newport News, Virginia and her election reflections,
and a video primer on how to document your vote with David Ardia of Harvard University.
More information on U.S. state election laws and documenting your vote at the Citizen Media Law Center of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.

They could use the cameras to tape wishes for the next term
This could be put on multiple sites including the new President-elect site.
The voting video is good for exposing flaws and good experiences with voting, now the cameras should record what actions we want our leader to take.
I think it's good this project was a collaboration because YouTube has wider audience than public television stations.
