It's certainly a skill, which is half the problem. Every election I research the hell out of the local candidates/positions, and routinely there is little information on the candidates. Some races are better than others, but at a certain point it becomes difficult to even figure out anything other than a name.
The information about these candidates needs to be more readily available.
Yeah and some of the positions are just so… esoteric. Really hard to care about the ones that aren’t really clear what they actually do and whom there’s only one candidate to vote for.
Agreed. How am I supposed to make a choice to vote when the candidates have given me no information to make a decision?
