Soooo, I'm gonna go vote tomorrow. You should too!

I know who I want to vote for for the major elections, but unfortuntely I still feel underinformed about more local stuff. Anyone have good research sites to recommend so I can get all edumacated?

The Strib "My vote" website is a good starting point. See my post from last week for the link.

you can see your ballot and click on links of candidates and check out their profile.

usually they have a more interactive thing to help you decide, but this gives you an overview at least.

The League of Women Voters has a voter's guide with a good candidate info tab.

TheBallot.org has a lefty-leaning endorsement list, if you want to cut to the chase.

I'll just add my vote for the Strib's MyVote site. I typed in my zip and got a list of everyone running in my district, Judges, Water & Soil seats... I took the print off and then visited each person's website and reviewed what they had to say and marked my choices directly on my printout. Now I have a handy little cheat sheet for tomorrow!
