What am I voting on again?
In just about every election I’ve voted in, its been a fair struggle just to get information about the issues on the ballot. Last fall, it wasn’t ’till I actually got to the polling place that I found out about one of the offices I was voting for. And this was after spending several *hours* the night before doing research and deciding my votes!
I don’t know about anyone else, but I consider that pretty damn ridiculous. I ran across this post from the blogger at the Open House Project who talks about his experiences in the recent PA primaries and pretty much came to the same conclusion.
The Open House Project is a site devoted to transparent government. (On in other words, we the citizens should know what sh*t our leaders are up to.) The guy who runs it often has some interesting blog posts, though its somewhat hit or miss. A lot of them I read and ignore, but others really make you think.
