Voting

I love voting. I love researching the candidates and issues and deciding who to support with my vote. I usually look to the League of Woman Voters bulletin for important information, such as platform, relevant experience, education- you know, the kind of stuff you would need to know in hiring someone for a job. Because thats what we are doing- we are hiring a public servant. But for some reason, this sort of information is not readily available for primary elections. I looked everywhere online: league of woman voters, ohio secretary of state, franklin county board of elections, moveon.org, ohio democratic party, and I basically googled every single candidate to no avail. I finally called not one, but two libraries and finally the Columbus library told me about an odd part of the franklin county site that had a sample ballot, so at least I could see what I was voting on tomorrow. It is so messed up. It is hard enough to fight voter apathy. It is hard enough to make people care. It is hard enough to get them out to vote. Why should it be so hard for interested parties to find information on these issues?
