Eliminating the perception of a wasted vote - need widget programmer

[regtoday]

There needs to a be a widget that we can install anywhere, myspace, facebook, anywhere, that lets people pledge their interest in voting third party. It should show how many people have pledged.

If we can show that many millions of people are willing to vote third party, we can eliminate the perception of a wasted vote.

how do you plan on validating a pledge? i.e. not having bogus/duplicate pledges

by email address, usually - and hopefully not enough folks go through the process over and over again to make a substantial difference.

with the Kokesh moneybomb, there were no problems with dupes, and the day's donations surpassed pledges -- same with the RP moneybombs.

i can look into doing something for this if you still are looking.
if you don't mind working with something being created from scratch...

if anyone is interested, i started on a widget for making pledges.
you can register and create a widget at http://www.pledgewidget.info, then embed it into your site. if it gets any interest, i could work on it more
