The Social Sample Ballot

by: Matt Singer

Fri Oct 29, 2010 at 09:03:17 AM MST


Wanted to share a new tool that Forward Montana is helping promote: My Ballot, the social sample ballot. Right now, it features statewide races and ballot measures for Montana.

The basic idea is you get you fill out your sample ballot while seeing how your Facebook friends have voted in various races. This isn't a tough call on some items, like the Congressional race, where most people know they'll come down. But the Supreme Court race, the Constitutional Convention, and CI-105 are all areas where some folks should be persuaded. I've also seen the votes cast so far spark a lively conversation over the outfitting initiative.

Check it out.
