whenever a local election comes up, the first thing I want to know is that who are running for what, and what's their key difference and if available, track records. A quick comparison chart/table will serve the purpose but I rarely if ever found that, hope someone will create a website like that for all, so voters can know the quick-facts before voting relatively easily.
- ausjke 10y agoActually I might do this myself, even some static html pages are better than nothing
- dexterdog 10y agoMy policy is when in doubt vote for the non-incumbent.
- burkaman 10y agoOk, but wouldn't it be nice if usually you weren't in doubt, because there was a really easy way to educate yourself on all the candidates?
- dexterdog 10y agoThere are plenty of ways, but you should still have doubt. Take the two people running for the big seat right now. They're both saying what they need to say to get the biggest base. How does listening to what they say in this crap-storm educate me as a voter?
- burkaman 10y agoIf you don't think listening to the candidates is useful then I guess I can't help you.
