Great Web sites to help you follow the election


Media and technology came a long way  since the last election in the U.S. I know that the whole process of choosing the president in the country can be very confusing for a foreigner. Although I picked up those Web sites to help myself make sense of the election, I am sure you will also find them helpful and interesting.

I really like how the site integrates the latest developments in interactive technology and social media to construct a solid picture of the election process.

“Electoral Projections Done Right” is a motto of the site. Very visual and very easy to understand and follow. Great construction of the possible outcomes of the elections.

Great idea wonderfully implemented. Fact-checking made easy and presented visually. When do the candidates lie and when do they tell the truth? Check it out and find out for yourself!
