The Hot Sheet

Everyone knows our Voter Guides rock

Ashley DiParlo at WTAE interviewed our own Carly Dobbins-Bucklad about the League of Young Voters special DIY voter guide website, theballot.org — where you can see all the League non-partisan voter guides (including PA’s!) with information on all of the down-ballot candidates and referendums, as well as upload your own voter guide.

People and organizations can submit guides all over the country, so if you’ve got a friend in another state, pass theballot.org on!

What does your Auditor General do?

“The proper role of the state auditor general — Pennsylvania’s designated fiscal watchdog — is disputed by the two major party candidates for the position, who made appearances in Monroe County last week.”

Today the Pocono Record ran a story about the differing views two candidates for Auditor General, Jack Wagner and Chet Beiler, have about what the position is supposed to do for PA.

The two candidates featured in the article also responded to our Voter Guide questionnaire — read their responses here!
