With the election quickly approaching, I asked Kedron to add a sidebar with some helpful websites. The first 2 are the best "fact checking" sites online - so you can see if the candidates are bending the truth. And Pollster.com tracks the most recent state polls, so you can get a sense of how the Electoral College map is shaping up. Project Vote Smart has all kinds of good info about every candidate's voting records (they even have information on state and local candidates! -- Ked is on the Advisory Board for their state legislative voting program). Snopes.com and truthorfiction.com are for all of you who get lots of political email forwards; you can check their accuracy here. The last link is for undecided voters; you can take a survey that gathers your opinions on issues and it matches you with the best candidate based on those views.
So. . . you all better be getting prepared to vote!
(Except for Dave and Jill - we don't want you to get deported :)
