As people 'share' on facebook they are voting, FB puts them (aggregated and anonymised) onto a US Map. Its fun but a little to reminicent of the ending of 'Wargames' film. facebookstories.com/vote |

Does FB scan all their friends' pages and cross-reference posts to determine the probability that they lie when they post? :) |

And it has the accuracy of a blunderbuss at 500 yards, since the Facebook population is not representative of the US population in terms of composition. |

It's not making any claims, its just showing which face book users are voting- hence the high % of young voters I would imagine. |

I think I just saw both people in Alaska vote. |

Does it show which ones voted more than once? |

Ah, the ever popular "voter fraud" canard. Give it a rest!! |

Dr X – I doubt it. Voter fraud in the USA is virtually non-existant. |
