Project Vote Smart
I’m in the process of updating News of the Odd, and I’m finding links that no longer lead anywhere (which I won’t burden you with), and links that don’t really belong there, but which I put there because, when I last updated the site, I didn’t have a blog. And so those links, I will burden you with. And here’s one now:
“Project Vote Smart: Presidential Candidates
Not, strictly speaking, odd (though when has the American presidential race not been odd?), but definitely useful. Project Vote Smart has collected issue statements, voting records, and biographical information on all of the candidates, even the ones you didn’t know were running. And navigating through their site, you might even find out who represents you in Congress. (Always assuming, of course, that you live in the United States. If not, you can be pardoned for not caring. If you do live in the US, it’s rather less forgivable. Unless, of course, you are either a Jehovah’s Witness, a recent immigrant, or a convicted felon.)”
