I’m joining the roster of contributors to NPR Sunday Soapbox, a political blog from the folks at Weekend Edition Sunday. I’ll be vlogging, naturally, about the state of our voting system. Click the screen grab below to check out Sunday Soapbox.

Here’s more info about Weekend Edition Sunday and Sunday Soapbox from NPR:

Given that we are in an election season, Sunday Soapbox focuses on issues, the candidates and the role of the Web in the 2008 election. From YouTube to Facebook, blogging to text messaging, we’ll talk about how campaigns and voters are embracing new technologies, and how the Web has forever changed the way citizens engage in politics. Political podcasters and bloggers Faye Anderson, Mindy Finn, Joshua Levy and Jacob Soboroff lead our discussions. You will also see WESUN staff members Davar Ardalan, Jenni Bergal, Liane Hansen and Ned Wharton blogging as well.
