Who wants to do homework when they can blog? Why not answer my own questions? I headed to the big tube in the sky for the answers to my ballot measure question and I found more on the ballot than I realized. I didn’t know it before, but there is a Ballotpedia, a wiki for electoral information. How cool is that? All this information is from that site and is therefore up for challenge and debate as it is a wiki and user-controlled. It should serve as a jumping on place for any discussion and links to other sites and media coverage.

Jack,
Thank you for highlighting these. I was just wondering what was on the ballot.
