Ballotpedia


Have you seen the new "Ballotpedia" web site yet? The site allows you to click on any state on the map graphic to get information about ballot measures and initiatives prior to the election. Click here to view the California site. In the tradition of Wikipedia, Ballotpedia is "a free, collaborative, online encyclopedia (which) focuses on ballots, ballot measures, ballot access for initiatives and candidates, petition drives, the supporters and opponents of initiatives and, in general, all things ballot." Also like Wikipedia, anyone is welcome to register and contribute information. According to the site's editing policies and guidelines, "Views should be represented without bias." (Yeah right...we're talking politics here, right?) : )
