2022 Midterm Election Information
November 9, 2022, Midterm stuff without the drama
Today is November 9th, 2022, the day after the midterm elections. There is so much noise on my social media feeds it is hard to determine what even happened and where. I don’t currently subscribe to any cable service. My account that was used to aggregate news is currently down and it occurred to me that there are others out there scouring through the internet on their phone or computer for the results.
One of the things I’ve enjoyed sharing over the years are websites, tools, and resources to help find, cite, and source information and navigate the choppy water of disinformation and misinformation.
For today’s purpose, I chose Ballotpedia over doom-scrolling after it was clear that checking through social media was going to leave me on an emotionally stressful roller coaster of anticipation and so I would like to share with you their comprehensive set of resource links below, enjoy:
