Keeping Track
As Campaign 2004 winds down, it's getting harder and harder to keep track of the candidates, the news, and when/where to vote. Here are a couple of useful resources:
Travels: CNN.com has a great resource for helping figure out where the candidates are, or have been in recent days. Candidate Tracker shows the routes of Bush, Kerry, Edwards and Cheney on a map. Fraud? Voter Fraud: in this blog, Bill Hobbs in TN is linking to every story nationwide about possible vote fraud. It's shocking how big this story is getting. (Both of these via Al Tompkins of the Poynter Institute, who has even more interesting links -- including links to help understand the Electoral College -- today). Sports influence? USA Today has done an analysis of Team owners' campaign contributions, covering owners of teams from NASCAR, the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB. Turns out several of them are huge contributors. Most of them contribute most to Republicans, but a few owners -- like the Yankees' George Steinbrenner and the Heat's Mickey Arison -- give pretty much equally to both parties. (via The Scoop.) And, most important: Don't let not knowing where or how to vote stop you. My Polling Place will tell you where you should vote, draw you a map, and explain the procedure. If you don't want to put your address in, there is an alternative but it doesn't work for everywhere: My Polling Site lets you click on maps to find a link to a county elections department. It will take a little longer, though, may not find the actual information you need quickly, and some counties aren't available. posted by liz at 2:30 PM
