What if we were given access to a complete dossier on each candidate fully chronicling their career?

Question

and qualifications, as well as their stance on each issue? Wouldn't that give independents fair exposure?

To point it out for those who don't know; most people don't have the first clue how to research. I'd like to see everyone have the same info, and to have that info fact-checked by an appropriate agency.

Answer 1

It would be mind scrambling---but then again people would have to read them. Most people cant handle anything except a two minute breakdown...... it would be good for those of us who care about the future........ which are few.
Im for everyone being on the independant ticket!! Yes, it would get them more exposure for sure............

Answer 2

That would be AWESOME. I still do not think that it would result in an independent winning although you are probably right that they would get better exposure. It would be great just to see how much flip flopping each candidate has done over their career....I think some kind of timeline would be great. With a timeline we could see if they changed their views because they changed their minds or just because it was an election year. Great Question.

Answer 3

This information exists and is easy to find. It is available in your libraries and on the internet.

All it takes is a little research. A public person - especially a politicia - leaves a trail that is easy to find and follow.

Trouble is, too many Americans are to lazy to find out for themselves and would rather let some talk-radio personality tell them how to think and who to vote for.

Answer 4

We are given access to this information, the fact is most people just don't care enough to read it. It is the voting (or non-voting) public's apathy that is the problem, not a lack of information.

Answer 5

Great idea!
