Google Launches Open Source Voter Information Tool 104
An anonymous reader writes "Google announces a new Voter Information Tool which, as its name implies, can be used by voters to find relevant information such as where you can vote and for whom. The search giant is releasing the new feature just over a week in advance of the US Presidential Election on November 6. This raises the question: can Google influence the elections even more than it already does via lobbying?"
I've found Ballotpedia useful as well.

Okay so you're saying being educated makes you more likely to be a liberal.
Judging by the quality of your post, I assume you are not a liberal.

Why would they be in trouble? As far as I know there is nothing wrong with gearing your message to a specific voter population. See Fox News for example, they have their message tailored specifically to ... let's say mentally challenged people ... and it seems to work for them.

And this year, let's broadcast it, to make it clear so no one misses there day to vote!!
Make sure and remind everyone, that this year, in order to accommodate a large voter turn out, and to make sure no one is disenfranchised, that we've split the dates for voting this year!!
Republicans (the challengers) vote first on Tues. Nov. 6th.
Democrats (the incumbents) will vote the next day on Wed. Nov. 7th.
Please make sure everyone knows this and gets it straight.....
Be Informed!!
