Thanks to Nick Karmia @FOXTallahassee for covering Democracy Test Kitchen. Great to talk about our non-partisan voter information tool, and some specifics about US House FL-2 race.

Very cool @MappingFL. Love the comprehensive non-partisan breakdown. A resource that might be helpful to your followers is our non-partisan project Democracy Test Kitchen which is fielding a free, non-partisan tool in FL to help voters compare candidates on the issues they actually care about, showing voters the source for every issue stand. Hope it's helpful and please let us know what would make it more so. https://t.co/EQEMU6VzKL

And, if you need any help figuring out who to vote for in the GOP field (or DNC, for that matter), please consider our non-partisan project Democracy Test Kitchen. A free, non-partisan tool we're testing in FL to help voters compare candidates on the issues they actually care about, showing voters the source for every issue stand. https://t.co/EQEMU6VzKL

Love this thing @TPSIOfficial. Will also put on your radar another big data play that we've been working on: Democracy Test Kitchen. A free, non-partisan tool we're testing in FL to help voters compare candidates on the issues they actually care about, showing voters the source for every issue stand. Please take a look and share with your followers if you think it could be helpful to them. https://t.co/EQEMU6VzKL Thank you!

Man, this thing is awesome! Nicely done @TPSIOfficial. Love the data that must be behind this thing.....

Hi @VanessaBritoMia. We're trying to get the word out ahead of the FL primary on Tuesday for our non-partisan project Democracy Test Kitchen. We're testing a free tool in FL to help voters compare candidates on the issues they actually care about, showing voters the source for every issue stand. Please take a look and share with your followers if you think it could be helpful to them. https://t.co/EQEMU6VzKL Thank you!

@Fla_Pol Thanks @PeterSchorschFL for featuring https://t.co/FODMOZv610 in your Sunday buffet! Very much appreciate your efforts to raise awareness of our free non-partisan project to help voters get actionable information they can take to the voting booth.

Big fan of @VOTE411 for figuring out what's on your ballot. For Florida primaries (Aug 18), we built a companion for the next step: comparing where FL candidates stand on the issues, sourced from their own words: https://t.co/EQEMU6VzKL. Non-partisan and free. Proud to be a resource alongside you this cycle.

No matter what issues you care about most, they’re on the ballot! Head to https://t.co/70VT0SmYbm to find dates and deadlines and make a plan to vote in every election. This is your chance to tell politicians whether things are working, or if you want change!

That's a lot of homework for undecideds given the size of the field. If you're a Republican torn between, say, Renner and Collins, or weighing the whole field, our non-partisan project Democracy Test Kitchen lays out where each candidate stands, issue by issue, from their own public statements, with the source attached to each so you can check it yourself: https://t.co/EQEMU6VzKL. Hope it's helpful.

[Democracy Test Kitchen @DemoTestKitchen]

A third still undecided with days to go. For anyone weighing Lauf vs Schwartzel (or the rest of the field), we built a free, non-partisan side-by-side of where each stands, pulled from their own public statements with the source linked on every one: https://t.co/EQEMU6VzKL. It'll help with all the homework given thirteen candidates in this race. Won't tell you who to pick — just makes them easier to compare.

We're working on a follow-up post that digs into strategic voting using this same survey data. We'll share it soon.

[Democracy Test Kitchen @DemoTestKitchen]

Primaries are where strategic voting can matter most in gerrymandered districts. When the general election is effectively decided by the map, the primary is often the real contest, and where a well-placed vote carries the most weight.

But seeing the field is only half of it. The bigger goal is helping voters figure out the best strategy to make their views count, and that often means voting strategically in primaries.

This is where Democracy Test Kitchen comes in. Part of what we're building is a clearer picture of what candidates actually believe, ranking them by how closely they match a given voter's views.

The distinction matters for reform. Third-party movements lack broad backing, but concern over how district lines are drawn runs across the spectrum. That points to redistricting, not restructuring the party system, as the more workable fix.

Voters also perceive structural imbalance. Roughly half believe one party holds a built-in advantage in their own districts: 50% for the U.S. House, 47% for state senates, 46% for state houses. Actual electoral data suggests the imbalance is even worse than voters perceive.
