Judges and measures, who?
Voters skip local races blank yearly. Ballots confuse down-ballot.
1. The problem
Civic voters face local ballots yearly confused. Judges unknown totally. Measures read legalese dense. Turnout skews tiny. The hardest part is plain clarity fast. A ballot might list strangers only. That uncertainty makes it hard to vote informed.
“Skipping blanks yearly here. I need matched guides with reminders.”
2. What exists
Ballotpedia, voter pamphlets and news decode races, while blanks persist yearly. Pamphlets arrive late thinly. News covers top races only. There is little help with address-matched guides plus reminder flows for voters.
3. The solution
The solution could be a vote-informed engine. It could match ballots by address simply. It could summarize measures plainly. Reminders could drive turnout. The goal would be filled ballots, heard voices.
