...to everyone who participated in our UCP Election Day Twitter Patrol! It was a pretty successful endeavor -if we do say so ourselves. We got reports from all across the country, and hundreds of people have visited this blog since Tuesday.
When you've been around as long as UCP has (55 years and counting), it's not always easy to jump into the new media game. We consider this a test run in that regard and we're starting to see just how involved our online community really is. Therefore we're looking forward to more and bigger social media events in the future and we're always open to suggestions from you about how to make that happen. You can give us feedback on the Twitter Patrol, or anything else for that matter, by leaving a comment on the blog or by e-mailing me (Patrick) at ptutwiler@ucp.org. We're also on Myspace, Facebook, and of course, Twitter.
Thanks again for a great Election Night.
We'll be talking to you soon,
The UCP National Team

Update from UCP
Alright folks, the work day is done on the East Coast and they're turning off the lights in the building, so it's time to move this operation over to our field office in Logan Circle (aka: my house). But don't worry, I'll keep on posting your tweets and messages, and as the results start to come in, I'll post those too. Thanks so much for all the work you've done so far, and make sure to visit us again before the night is over!
Ciao

Welcome!

You can find us on Twitter at twitter.com/ElectionPatrol.
Check back here on November 4th for up to the minute tweet reports from disability issues voters across the country reporting on poll accessibility conditions in their cities. We'll sort out all the reports from here and let you know about any trouble spots for disabled voters. We'll also be liveblogging the election results and posting info on whom to contact in you're area to report problems at the polls.
But the best part about the Twitter Patrol is that it's so easy to join! In fact there's only three steps:
1)If you don't already have a Twitter account, get one!
2)Type "@ElectionPatrol Join!" into your update field and we'll start following you.
3) Then, on Election Day, simply send out a tweet about your polling place: Is it wheel-chair accessible? Are there long lines? Is all the equipment working properly? Etc... Your tweet will show up on this blog, and we'll tag it with relevant key words so other users can search for it.
It's that easy! So tell your friends, because the more Twitter Patrol members we have out there, the better. And in the meantime, you can follow us at: twitter.com/ElectionPatrol.
