I have a short list of links already on there (9). Of those, most have a conservative leaning. I tend to have a conservative view on most things, so my personal bias is showing through a bit in the choice of links (I think it's almost humanly impossible to be completely unbiased).

I do have John Kerry and George Bush's official election websites on there. Any suggestions for other election related sites?

I would love to post a long list of non-subscription news service sites on there. Any suggestions?

I suppose I'm a little insulated against the mindless masses who STILL don't have a strong opinion about either President Bush or the other guy, BUT it seems to me the sections of ballots that cause more headaches are the supposedly non-partisan judges and the legalese-infested legislation. I do understand that finding ANY actual position on ANYTHING from the other guy is a daunting task, but at least he has an easily accesible Senate voting record. In my case, I had to look up each judge and find the year he was appointed. From there, I looked up the governor who appointed him. If said governor was a d'RAT, that was a "no". For the legislative questions, I found some useful information about who proposed the legislation originally. If that State representative was a d'RAT, again a "no" vote. I realize that to some, this method might seem lazy, but unfortunately, I am a relative late-comer to the political intricacies of my duties as a citizen of the great United States and this was the best I could do on such short notice. I hope that if anyone reads this message they get an idea or two about how to wade though their ballot. It may not be the best way, but it got me through.

You may consider adding suggestions to your site on how voters can obtain sample ballots and find information to help them make informed decisions on other issues in addition to the presidential race.
