Regardless of whether you believe there was an organized vote suppression effort by Republicans in 2000 and 2004, imagine how YouTube could transform the immediacy of an issue like this. Instead of years later, when a documentary is produced…or a painstakingly researched article is published…there will be video uploaded during the day tomorrow to raise the alarm of impropriety. Now perhaps it will be a bunch of garbage…but if there is a story to be found, imagine how much faster it will surface.
Update:

Summary: Nothing major reported…but the mere fact of reporting is revolutionary. I doubt YouTube “coverage” made things fairer…but now we know it can be done. It will be there for 2008. It can’t hurt.
