A note from the site’s creator

Current pamphlets and voter guides are insufficient in helping voters make informed decisions. They are often way too overwhelming, unclear, biased, and prioritize text over other ways of getting information across. The goal of this resource is to help everyone (including non-native English speakers) get a better understanding of why a proposition is on the ballot, what the backstory (if any) behind it is, and who supports it. I created this website for myself to make it easier to understand what's going on, but wanted to share it with others in case it could be helpful.
