The Online Election

The amount of campaign, political and election-related information available on the Internet has grown explosively in recent years. New sites are added nearly every day. Viewpoints can range from seriously official campaigns to satirical parodies of established politicians. Most of the sites listed here contain links to still other political pages. Other sites can be found by using search engines such as Yahoo or Lycos. The Los Angeles Times’ web page also includes a voter guide (address listed below).
