A Nonpartisan Guide For Undecided Voters

Trending News: This Handy Tool Shows Voters Where Candidates Stand On The Issues

Why Is This Important?

Because this election is such a circus, and it's hard to focus on what really matters.

Long Story Short

The American Voter Guide is a tool designed to help citizens get to the bottom of where the Presidential candidates stand on several key issues. Voters can also find helpful information on voting laws and down-ballot candidates specific to their state.

Long Story

It seems to most that the upcoming election is already decided, or at least that the lines have been permanently drawn in the sand. If you're living in the large swaths of America left behind in the recovery from the Great Recession and looking to send a wakeup call to Washington to let them know that, hey, rural America is dying, you're likely looking past his vile nature and general misunderstanding of governance and voting for Donald Trump. Anyone else, you're probably voting for Hillary Clinton with varying degrees of enthusiasm.

But, surprisingly, there are still undecided voters out there, like living internet meme Ken Bone. Those voters (particularly younger ones) want to know where they stand on the actual issues, but the current media circus makes that hard. We know how Trump feels about women (he's into them, whether they want him to be or not). We know how Hillary stands with pneumonia (shakily, it would appear), and we know that Jill Stein and Gary Johnson are, uh, probably also people running for President?

But what about the stuff that actually matters? Thankfully, there's a guide for that. The American Voter Guide is a simple, straightforward tool that gives uncertain voters a clear overview of the candidates, as well as their official positions on several key issues.

If you're a Trump fan but worry that he's a little too autocratic, maybe you'll find that Johnson is a reasonable alternative. If you're a hardcore Jill Stein person, you see that Hillary maybe aligns with her better than you thought. Even cooler (and arguably more important) is that, if you go here and click on your state, you can get additional, specific information on how to vote, as well as candidate platforms for any occurring down-ballot races. Here, for instance, is the tutorial for voting in Virginia.

Voting is both important and civically responsible, but informed voting is even more important. Come November 8, it's up to everyone to make the best choices for them.
