Crowdpac.com: using data science to help inform voters at election time

1 pointsby daisystantonalmost 11 years ago
&quot;Crowdpac uses data to inform its recommendations for federal and state races. It analyzes stated positions on key issues, an incumbent’s voting record and campaign contributions to score each candidate.<p>Voters take a quick, three-step quiz to determine where they fall on the political spectrum, from liberal to conservative, and identify which issues they care most passionately about — say, health care, immigration or marriage rights. Based on these responses, Crowdpac generates individualized recommendations for those politicians whose views most closely match the voter’s own.<p>Crowdpac’s online voter guide debuts with California’s open primary this Tuesday, in which the two top candidates in each race, irrespective of party, face off in the general election. A mobile app should be available by this fall.&quot;
