A new survey of 10,000 people conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology released by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that African-American voters waited to vote more than twice as long as others, and Hispanics were asked to show identification more often. Other problems included issues with absentee ballots, and inconsistent application of election laws. According to the press release from the Make Voting Work (MVW), a project of the Pew Center on the States, "MVW will invest more than $8 million in 2009 to drive advances in the field -- continuing its focus on voter information, voter registration, audits, polling place management, and military and overseas voting." In addition, electionline.org has just released Election 2008 in Review. Among the many findings, the report addressed that actual turn out was lower than expected and most problems were related to voter registration.
