The San Francisco company Tulchin Research is out with some fun polling of California voters that fleshes out the intersection of tech and politics. Among the findings:

• Have an iPhone? You're likely a Jerry Brown voter. Fifty-seven percent of Apple phone-havers back Brown, a Democrat, in the California governor's race, while 31% like Republican candidate Meg Whitman; 12% might be sold on their phone choice, but are undecided in the race.
• Wait, you're a BlackBerry user? Then there's about a one in two chance that you're a Whitman fan; 38% of RIM customers prefer Brown.

• Seventy-two percent of voters in the state who are under the age of 40 have a Facebook account -- which is 13 more percentage points than those who subscribe to cable television.

If the air seems to be crackling with excitement today, it might be because Google has just connected up Google Maps with the Voting Information Project (VIP) polling place data that it and Pew and JEHT have been working to compile. Hooray!; Text messages sent on Election Day that urge recipients to vote increase turnout by 4.6 percentage points, according a just-released study by CREDO Mobile and Student PIRGs New Voters Project; The Republican National Committee is eager to keep focus on how tight-lipped the Obama campaign has remained about its contributors who fall under the law's $200 mandatory disclosure mark. And so, yesterday, the RNC released a database of GOP small donors. The thing is, the thing doesn't actually work -- at least, not in any meaningful way; and a good amount more.
