Building Tools to Track Election Problems

Posted by michael on from the fighting-the-good-fight dept.

grugnog writes "The Election Incident Reporting System (EIRS) is an integrated set of tools to assist Election Protection Organizations and their members to record and react to election day incidents and irregularities. Volunteers are needed to both code the EIRS system (which is based on open source systems: AdvoKit, PHPSurveyor, MapServer, and geocoder.us) and to volunteer technical expertise to logic & accuracy testing of voting machines and poll watching through the Verified Voting Foundation."

  1. Mod Parent offtopic by Crashmarik · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why In Hell hasn't the parent been modded offtopic ? It has nothing to do with election tracking. This is an important subject that doesn't deserve to be spamned. I don't care if you are conservative,liberal,other or whacko, A good election should be important to you.

    Umm, we tried that in this country. It doesn't prevent election problems, just shifts their nature.
