Could you list 5 of the last State propositions from memory?

That's the problem

The majority of voters don't pay any attention to the "down ballot"

Those are all the state and local measures that directly impact voters (even more than most presidential decisions do)

We set out to tackle this issue, and that's how Ballotview.org was born.

Working in partnership with the World Economic Forum Global Shapers Community, the University of Southern California, and the County of Los Angeles
