Campaigns have changed: voters stumble around for facts that are getting
harder to find. They search for the truth and, in its place, they find
platitudes and dodged questions. It doesn’t need to be this way, but that
doesn’t mean it feels easy to fix.

In the face of this, too many citizens feel that tolerance is their only
available reaction. We work to ensure that Americans of all political
ideologies have another choice: fighting back. Vote Smart finds the facts
and lays them out plain and simple so that you might use them as tools in
the battle against misinformation.

The campaign landscape this year is relatively quiet. But at [3]Vote Smart,
we know what it will be like when candidates flood the airwaves again and
fill our screens. Voters deserve a system they can use to defend
themselves. We haven’t stopped working to build and maintain just that,
regardless of the campaign landscape.

Imagine an election cycle where citizens elect to defend their democracy,
rather than accepting its demise, and then help us make it happen.
