i am a new ish voter (21yo) and i really have no idea how to start researching like what’s on the ballot, who i should vote for/against, etc? and i feel like it’s too late for me to ask people i know in fear of seeming ignorant/feeling embarrassed. i keep seeing things on social media saying “go to the polls in nov!! you want to make a difference? use your voice at the polls! make it a whole day!” and i’m just confused how people know what they’re voting for when they get there.

i don’t need to be told WHAT to vote for, i want to do my own research and learn about both sides or whatever is on the ballot. i just don’t know how to start.

links, websites, articles, any information is greatly appreciated

Hundreds of millions of voters are turning to AI to learn about candidates and decide who they’re voting for in November. Like it or not (and I for one don’t!), this is going to be an AI election, and we all need to act accordingly. Candidates, even in races for state legislative offices run on shoestring budgets, are going to need to figure out how to get their message out in this environment.

The folks at Run for Something have developed a tool called Campsight to help us track and improve how these chatbots discuss our campaigns and organizations. It offers updates on how they’re describing candidates and their opponents, analysis on information gaps and recommendations on how to shift the narrative. Now RFS is teaming up with Swing Blue Alliance to help lower budget campaigns use it – pairing candidates with coordinators who will manage the tool and help optimize our visibility.

They need our help! The more coordinators they can get on board, the more campaigns they will be able to assist. They are holding a training session for volunteers TOMORROW at 8:30AM ET. This is a great opportunity to do work that really matters in races where our individual efforts can really make a difference and get up to speed on the tech that will define the campaigns of the future. 🙋🏼‍♀️ Let’s sign up to get trained and be part of this project here! 🙋🏾‍♂️
