It is, once again, voting season. Sign wavers are on street corners, smiling and trying to entice your vote. Everyone's candidate is the best candidate, apparently. So how can voters make an informed decision? There are quite a few resources that do their best to keep voters informed but, today, I will highlight only one - Project Vote Smart. This site contains information for voters on political leaders, their positions on issues, and campaign finance. It also has a special section for teachers, with lesson plans for elementary, middle and high school. The lessons use the Project Vote Smart website to help students explore the politicians of their state and what they stand for. This is a great site, not only to teach students about voting and their representatives, but for adults who want to get an unbiased comparison of the candidates.
