Original Problem

Voters struggle to evaluate political candidates' actual track records and judicial decisions

Voters face difficulty accessing and understanding specific judicial actions and policy decisions by political candidates, relying instead on campaign rhetoric and partisan narratives. Current news sources provide fragmented coverage, making it hard to build a comprehensive view of a candidate's actual performance in office. This information gap leads to uninformed voting decisions and post-election regret.
