We're finishing our design audit of MyMaineConnection aka how people get food, health insurance, and temporary assistance tonight (finally)
Choice quote “I’m technically a certified tax preparer and I don’t know the answer myself” (about a tax question)
"I'm really worried that if I accidentally click exit, I'll lose everything." Working on our design audit of MyMaineConnection today for #NationalDayofCivicHacking.
One person is going through on a laptop, one on a phone, and one using a screenreader.

Do you know what's on your ballot? The wording, design, and information around local ballot questions can be confusing for voters. That's why @efficientxd and @Open_Maine started the Maine Ballot project to simplify access to local ballot information.

Hey, Maine voters! Scan & send us pictures of your ballot(s)! We'd like to upload them as samples on MaineBallot.org. While you're at it, let us know if your town has a drop box.

In our audit of the Pandemic EBT application for Georgia, parents report that it's very difficult to find their child's Georgia Testing ID, which is required. Many parents have ended up calling the school, and need to wait 24-48 hours for a callback. #NationalDayofCivicHacking
ALT GT ID: Please find this ID in your child's report card or progress report or student online portal

We need a conversation about how our state serves people who need help. Let's start by completing a human centered design audit, to add to @codeforamerica's 50 State Assessment. We're excited that @MeEqualJustice will join us!
