Google Earth Election Guide

[Doug Grinbergs <saule@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to share some information about a novel feature of Google 
Earth (a  program to view maps, map layers and satellite images; free 
version available for Mac OS, Linux and Windows): election 
information for all congressional districts.

A Macworld article:

From Google's news release

	<http://www.google.com/press/pressrel/earth_election_guide.html>

The 2006 Google Earth Election Guide includes clickable place marks 
for all 435 Congressional districts. Each place mark includes:

    * The slate of candidates running for office in that district, 
with live feeds from Google Web, Image, and News Search for each 
candidate
    * Campaign finance information from the Federal Election 
Commission (FEC) and Center for Responsive Politics 
(www.opensecrets.org) for the district's candidates
    * A link to voter registration and voter information sites, 
localized to each state

The 2006 Google Earth Election Guide is available under the Layers 
tab of the Google Earth sidebar.
