[kwlug-disc] [...] Waterloo Region Votes (Oct 2022)

[Andrew Sullivan Cant]

I finally got to look at it, and it is pretty.
I might copy some design ideas of other projects which are displaying 
information about candidates.

This tool for picking a short list of candidates is interesting:

This is something that would be helpful for our municipal elections. I 
usually go into the municipal booth with a cheat sheet for my decisions.



But I think I also have WaterlooRegion politics brain. :) Seeing 
municipal parties, no multi-level, and no wards just feels weird to me.
