Ideas

Of course we are concerned here with the voting records or our elected officials.

Areas of Interest

Legislative

Executive

Judicial

In future phases we can included the voting records of local officials.

We can include candidate support for ballot measures and propositions.

We can also map the voting records of communities as a whole. And results of elections.

The Government Printing Office [GPO] provides us with the information, we just have to display and use the data to create a simple interface for citizens to access the data.

Also look to the National Archives and Records Admininistration [NARA]
