Why should I text in my intention to vote for a particular candidate?
Polling results can and should be more accurate. We’ve never been asked to partake in an election poll, and we’re assuming most of you haven’t either. Now, we all have the power to easily express our voice, and, by doing so, create a more accurate representation of the electoral outcome. Remember to text in your vote before November 4th. We’ll predict a winner on that day based on all the text messages we receive.

So, I texted in my vote. Now, what?
First off, thanks so much! You’ve helped paint a more accurate picture of actual voter preference. Based on everyone’s combined text messages we’ll announce a winner before the official polls open. We ask that you go out on election day and keep your promise to vote. Remember to send us picture proof of your actual vote!

You’re asking me to take a picture as proof that I voted?
Yes, we are. We’re asking you to match up your intention with
proof of an actual vote. It’s not that we don’t believe you’ll do it. We do! We just don’t believe the Florida disaster from the 2000 election should ever happen again, and a record of your vote is the best way to keep the system honest.

How should I take a picture of myself while voting?
We’re pretty sure you have a camera on that fancy cell phone of yours, but any camera will work to capture yourself on election day. Taking a picture of yourself outside the polling station, inside the booth, or wearing an ‘I voted today’ sticker are all great receipts of your vote.
5.
Is taking a picture at a polling station illegal?
Photography of polling places is governed by state and local law-there is no one answer for what is permissible. Every state has different election laws, some which allow photos of polling stations and others that do not. It is important to check your states' procedures to find out what is and isn't acceptable. Don't break the law!

How is my location established?
We deduce it from the area code and central office code in your phone number.
7.
My phone number doesn’t reflect where I’ll be voting. Won’t this skew your results?
Lots of people move, and don’t feel the need to change their phone number when they do. We theorize that there is enough domestic migration throughout the country to balance out these imperfections.
8.
Is this an official way to vote?
No - not even close! Texting in your intention does not constitute an official vote for your candidate. In fact, it’s only a text message, but we’ll remind you to fulfill your intention on election day with the real deal and also to send us a photo of you taking part in the voting process.
