Figuring out how to vote is hard -- but fortunately, dozens of major organizations and news outlets around the state have put together endorsement sheets to help you. The problem is that it's hard to compare one source's endorsement to another, since they're all spread out.
But for every election over the past few years, I've gone out and done all the research for you. I find every single endorsement, from the SF Chronicle to the Sierra Club to the California Chamber of Commerce, combining them all into a big grid so you can see who says "yes" and who says "no" on each measure.
And I'll go further than that: I can show you the balance of opinion among newspapers, for example, or the balance of opinion among liberal organizations versus conservative ones. It's everything you need to know in order to vote, all in one simple easy-to-read place.
What this won't be is an endorsement of any politician or cause. Instead, it's a list of the public endorsements made by other organizations -- a pure reporting of facts, not support or opposition for any candidate or cause.
