Built Around the Voter

Better than an election-news archive.

The guide is organized around the voter's location and official ballot rather than requiring people to search through stories to determine what applies to them.

1 · Official ballot first

County filings and sample ballots establish the race and candidate roster.

2 · Candidates in ballot order

No CrossPoint ranking or preferred display order.

3 · Public-source statements

Quotes are linked, dated and kept in their original context.

4 · Candidate questionnaire

Equivalent questions and word limits for candidates seeking the same office.

5 · Correction trail

Candidates and residents can submit a newer primary source or factual correction.

6 · Open sources

Readers can open the government and published sources themselves.
