You got your chocolate in my peanut butter! No, you got your peanut butter in my chocolate!

Like Reese Cups, voting irregularities and Google Maps taste great together. And Wired magazine has brought them together in Reese Cup-like style: It has rolled out an interactive Google Map where voters can report problems at the polls nationwide and make them appear on a map.

While there's no icon on the map key for "I used the identity of a dead person to vote fraudulently," I can understand that such things are hard to self-report (given that it's illegal). But Wired does want to map your reports of malfunctioning machines, eligibility challenges, long lines, and the ever-popular cases of Surprise! We moved your polling place and didn't tell you!

And many will be watching for voting irregularities in Houston and around Texas in the coming election. In addition to Texas Watchdog's recent story about dead people casting ballots in Harris County, officials in Waller County, just west of Houston, have admitted that they disregarded voter registration forms from historically black Prairie View A&M, a violation of federal election laws. Waller is also one of the 50+ Texas counties on the "watch list" of voter advocacy group Black Box Voting, whose work challenging the flaws of electronic voting machines (such as those made by Texas-based Diebold) were highlighted in the recent documentary film Hacking Democracy.
