Traffic is the only drama where I am, very blue zip code.
In my state, the organization of the online data is verging on awful. It’s all there, but for the most part it’s tucked away in pdfs that are not searchable and don’t have internal links. You can enter your address to get an example of your ballot but that’s it, no links to candidate positions or long measure descriptions. To my geospatial mind, it should all start at a web map that shows district boundaries (which might clue more people in to the issue of re-districting), and polling locations. You click on the map to see who’s running for what office and there are links below a picture to HTML pages and pdfs if you want them.
