ISideWith gets 100M+ visits per election cycle. VoteMatch is the conversational version — and it's better. 100 questions across 10 political axes, real "It depends" answers (not cop-outs), then enter your address and the agent pulls your ACTUAL ballot — federal candidates via OpenFEC, state + local via live data. Builds issue profiles for every candidate from their websites, voting records, endorsements, and public statements. Maps them onto your axes. Shows you alignment + explains why. Never tells you who to vote for. ## What's included - **100 questions across 10 axes** — economics, social values, authority vs liberty, globalism, environment, civil liberties, criminal justice, technology, democracy, social welfare; balanced, not loaded - **Every question has examples + counter-examples** — clarifies what each position actually means in policy terms - **"It depends" is a real answer** — with branch-prompts that surface your actual stance (e.g., "depends on income level" → income-bracket follow-up) - **Confidence weighting** — strongly agree / agree / neither / disagree / strongly disagree, plus skip option for genuinely don't-know - **Ballot lookup by address** — federal (House, Senate, presidential) via OpenFEC + Ballotpedia; state legislature + governor + AG; local (mayor, council, judges, school board, ballot props) - **Candidate issue profiles** — auto-built from candidate websites, voting records, debate transcripts, endorsements, public statements (citation-linked, not opinion) - **Match scoring** — "Candidate A: 78% match. Agree on healthcare, education, environment. Disagree on gun policy, immigration. Confidence: high (12 public positions found, 1 contradiction)" - **Side-by-side comparison** — pick 2-4 candidates, see issue-by-issue agreement / disagreement at a glance - **Issue deep-dive** — "show me everyone's healthcare stance" across federal + state + local in one view - **Ballot prop analysis** — yes/no positions across candidates + endorsement organizations; plain-English explanation of what each prop actually does - **Exportable voter guide** — PDF / print-ready summary you can take to the polls (some states allow paper notes in the booth) - **Daily data refresh** — candidates change positions, new endorsements drop, votes get cast - **Shareable results** — send to friends; compare profiles; start real conversations (the most-shared feature on ISideWith) ## Limitations - **Not a voter registration system** — pairs with Vote.org / your Secretary of State for registration + ballot requests - **Not legal counsel** — eligibility, registration deadlines, mail-in vs in-person rules vary by state and need official sources - **Not partisan** — scores by alignment math, never editorializes; if a candidate aligns with your answers it shows that math - **U.S.-elections-focused** — Canadian + UK + AU + EU ballot lookup is separate ecosystems (different data sources, party systems) - **Down-ballot data quality varies** — federal + state are excellent; municipal coverage is uneven by county (small towns may have limited public positions) ## Best fit First-time voters who want to vote thoughtfully without spending 40 hours researching every race. Independent / unaffiliated voters who don't trust party endorsements. Voters in midterm and local elections where down-ballot races matter as much as the headline race. Especially valuable in primary season when 8-12 candidates of the same party need differentiation. At $5/month for an election cycle (~$30 total), it's the most-leveraged $30 in civic engagement — and the shareable results turn it viral organically every cycle.
