It’s time to Register and Vote! If you have not registered there are tons of resources these days. I am actually going to do an absentee ballot so that I do not have to wait in line at the polling location. Luckily in my State, I was able to submit all this electronically. I did have to print out a form and scan and email it in. Waiting for the ballot to come in the mail. I hope one day we can vote online as well.
The Vlog brothers created a whole Youtube channel just for knowing how to vote in your state and if you are unsure how to do so in your state just go here:

As far as research I use multiple sites and searches. If you know of any really good sites to help you research please post below.

I usually start googling things like “(First Name) (Last Name) Scam”
I usually start googling things like “(First Name) (Last Name) Fraud”
For me, this is the top concern. For you, it might be a different issue. I personally think Greed and Corruption are something we need to try to minimize and weed out. If someone is involved in Scams or Fraud then I would prefer they not hold a political position.
You can also typically find the users website and check out their “About Me” Section and then look at their Platform/Issues to see what is the most important thing for them.
Additionally, your local papers usually do interviews with the major candidates. I really like the ones that have a standard set of questions for them.
Another resource is Reddit. Your State and City might have a site and people will usually be posting anything significant like stories of fraud and such. Just realize they have a lot of shills out there.
Please leave comments on any tools, sites, or other recommendations you have found to help research candidates.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
