Ron Paul Super PAC Unveils Poll Watching Mobile Application
2012
Full-scale effort to be deployed for Arizona and Michigan primaries, announces Revolution PAC.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – CHICAGO – February 20, 2012 – In the face of mounting evidence of voter suppression and election fraud, Revolution PAC is formally launching a groundbreaking exit polling initiative in time for the February 28 Republican presidential primaries in Arizona and Michigan. The first-of-its-kind grassroots effort also will include the deployment of a private-label smartphone application.
The application – codenamed “PollWatcher 1.0” – is currently only available for Google’s Android operating system and was built from the ground up with an easy-to-use interface. PollWatcher 1.0 will allow Revolution PAC’s boots on the ground to conduct an efficient exit polling initiative as a means to crosscheck the accuracy of state GOP parties’ vote totals, which were problematic in Iowa, Nevada and Maine.
“This tool enables the grassroots revolution to compete with the establishment media like never before,” explains Gary Franchi, Revolution PAC chair. “Their monopoly stranglehold on election results is finally broken.”
In addition, the app features access to a “reporter’s toolbox,” which provides one-click audio/video recording as well as the ability to post to Facebook or Twitter in real time. The application will be distributed to qualified volunteers for live field beta testing prior to the upcoming primaries.
Volunteers are being asked to join the effort at http://RevolutionPAC.com/Exit-Polling/.
Revolution PAC will broadcast the results in real time as part of its “Boycott the Mainstream Media” initiative, which will be streamed live throughout the day during the Arizona and Michigan primaries.
Revolution PAC is supporting U.S. Rep. Ron Paul’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination and his consistent, constitutional message with targeted TV advertising, direct mail campaigns, vote-watching initiatives and innovative Web promotions complemented by billboards and radio ads in key primary states. Unlimited donations by individuals, businesses and organizations are being accepted by Revolution PAC to support that effort.

When will there be an Iphone app? I will definitely do exit polls with this app in Knoxville, TN on super Tuesday if I can get that app!!! Awesome, thanks guys!!!
I checked my android market and nothing came up.
Me too! Nothoing on Android Market???
The app is “Private-Label” and only distributed to selected volunteers at this point. A wider release is forthcoming.
This is the most brilliant idea I have seen in a long time. I’m no techhie, but this could change the shape of elections dramatically.
Speaking of Michigan primary, please comment on this Daily Paul link:

Can we not make a motion in every county to have the votes counted in full view of the public and the results announced and photographed before being sent to be tallied?
I couldn’t find Pollwatcher either, but Street Teams looks promising for taking exit polls as well as canvassing and it may be available for iPhones.
An iPhone/iPod/iPad app would be recommended!
I can’t find the app using my samsung.
“Pollwatcher 1.0″ is not found.
Where do I find it?
The app is currently “Private-Label”, meaning it is only being distributed to volunteers willing to travel to the selected polling locations in Arizona and Michigan.
A wider release public-version is forthcoming.
haha, i was just thinking we should have something like this. how funny that It was created by someone else 2 days later. I also think this app should keep up to date in online polls conducted by The Mud Stream Media so we can vote while away from our homes. Open-Source for ALL! Ron Paul for President!!!
I was thinking we needed something like this too. Just goes to show there are solutions to fraud and corruption. RON PAUL 2012
This really needs to be on the Iphone’s App Store as well.
Is this available on the Amazon Kindle Fire? It is android based, but probably slightly different and may need to be published on their store as well. If not, please consider this as well.

“The application will be distributed to qualified volunteers for live field beta testing prior to the upcoming primaries.”
hmph.
Hello: I can email anyone an apk (to your android email account), that has this page on it.
I’ve been working on an app for the revolution, as a one stop shop for all things RPR.
My emailaddress is jeff.rosano gmail com
Point of clarification. My app is NOT their app. It has a link to this page, as well as links to other pages. There is a player for LRC podcasts, etc.
I just went to the app store and didn’t find this app anywhere. Please let me know how to get it.
What do I type into the android market?
Was expecting to find a QR code… registered anyway. Looking forward to this!
A QR code can be obtained at http://www.bit.ly
just submit a link for submission at the link shortner and it is automatically generated

Any iPhone app in the works? or perhaps an extension to this website?
