Fact Check WA: Be Informed

Have you seen the television ads or yard signs asking you to vote yes or no on the ballot for Initiative 985, 1000, and 1029? Its hard to know who is telling the whole story when claims are made in 30 second ad spots and yard signs only ask you to vote for or against an initiative.

Fact Check WA, developed by MCDM’ers in the Digital Democracy seminar, will compare the claims made in campaign ads with the facts–as we know them.

New ads will be analyzed weekly until Election Day. Be informed when you head to the polls on November 4th!

    Nice Work MCDM’ers! These are three of the gnarliest issues on the ballot and you’ve done a really good job of separating the facts from the lies.

    Thanks! Its amazing what you find when you start reading the actual initiative text and compare it to all of the ads and blogs supporting or opposing certain measures.
