TBD.com, the new Allbritton site out of Washington, DC is using map mashups and social media to help tell the story of today’s primary elections. On the site, you will find good use of the liveblogging tool CoverItLive, where voters are reporting about their experiences at the polls. TBD has also built a mashup map of reported voting problems. (The map uses Ushahidi.) The site also has a list of reported problems and notes whether those reports are confirmed or not. One suggestion: these elements are great, but a little hard to find. They are spread out across the site. I’d suggest a box on the home page that links to all these social efforts. (HT to @KenSands)
