Vote 2016
Finding Voter Information That Makes You Smarter
Voting is Easy. It’s finding Voter Information that’s hard. You know I’m right. Walking into a voting booth and darkening some circles or punching some holes or pulling a lever (more like touching a screen) is not rocket science. The problem is knowing what choices you’ll need to make.
Now, the Presidential race is one thing. That’s taking up all the oxygen on the small screen. But there’s more to voting choices in 2016. There are Federal, State, County and local races and ballot measures that will need your attention. But don’t despair. There’s plenty of voter information out there if you just look.
