(73) Dan Wolf: Actual Vote, App for a Crowdsourced Election Audit

Dan’s organization Democracy Counts has created an app for any US citizen to easily participate in a crowdsourced, independent audit of today’s election. Will this idea prevent the election from being stolen? And more importantly, is that cool?

“It allows anybody to go to their polling place… take a picture of the polling tape and push a button” to submit their precinct’s official results to independent auditors after the election closes.

To participate in this crowdsourced audit, download Actual Vote in the App Store or Google Play.
