Ohio Voter Seeks Help

October 15th, 2010

Ohio Election Mail

My absentee ballot for the 2010 Ohio elections has been sitting on my desk for over a week now.  It stares at me with its stars and stripes, with its empty look -- but I can only stare back.  I'm honestly at an impasse about how to get any further in filling it out and sending it back in.

Does anybody know of a good source of objective, adequate-but-not-overwhelming (on-line) source of information for guiding Ohio voters for the coming elections?

What I really wish for is some kind of multiple-choice "test" to determine my personal preferences -- ideally with the possibility to weight some issues more heavily than others -- but I haven't been able to find anything remotely along these lines for this year's state elections.  In the Netherlands, they have a site called the StemWijzer (VotePointer).  Even for the last American Presidential elections, they had some sites that offered similar advice.  But this time around, I'm feeling frustrated by the apparent paucity of information along these lines...

My political views have become too complicated (for better, for worse) to go strictly by party lines.  And yet, I don't feel like I want to spend more than an hour or two researching the possibilities -- and even that hour or two gets maddening when it's purely based on wading through propaganda from the directly involved parties.  So I'm hoping that somehow, someone out there might have some information that could help me... Please?
