Yeah, I spent about 8 hours going over every person this election, including local mayor, city council, and board of education members. And, yeah, 8 hours isn't an amount of time everyone has all in one block, but most of the research was pretty easy to digest quickly, and I could've split it into a bunch of 5-minute pieces whenever I had a bit of time over the course of a couple months. I get that it's not the most interesting or calming activity, but I think people could at least take a small amount of enjoyment knowing they've properly educated themselves on the goals and qualifications of all the people on their ballot.
