Goals of the Project:
 * 1) Document the conditions under which voters are casting ballots in PA and TX
 * 2) Collect stories from polling places in Texas and Pennsylvania
 * 3) Publish stories to the web
 * 4) Draw comparisons between states in terms of voter experiences and types of voting opportunities

Things to remember: Options for contributing stories

 * Make sure to let people know what you are doing and why you are doing it

 * Partner up, you will still need separate stories, but a good idea to use the buddy system
 * Post the footage on the web
 * TAG EVERYTHING with the appropriate tag
 * TX= usvoting08tx
 * PA= usvoting08pa and slaush0809
