The 2016 Online Voter Guide is a non-partisan resource for voters in Georgia. The Georgia Voter Guide is a product of the League of Women Voters of Georgia and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The League and the AJC do not endorse candidates and thoroughly believe that voters should judge candidates based on their own merits, ideas and platforms. We work very hard to provide an intelligent, equitable forum where that can occur.

Red State. Blue State, Rich State, Poor State: Why Americans Vote the Way They Do.
Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2008.
JK1976 .R43 2008
On the night of the 2000 presidential election, Americans watched on television as polling results divided the nation's map into red and blue states. Since then the color divide has become symbolic of a culture war that thrives on stereotypes--pickup-driving red-state Republicans who vote based on God, guns, and gays; and elitist blue-state Democrats woefully out of touch with heartland values. With wit and prodigious number crunching, Andrew Gelman debunks these and other political myths.

And the companies that understand the coming revolution will be the first movers in this new era, while those that wait will be left behind. From his behind–the–scenes look at Dean's shocking rise and fall to his "seven inviolable, irrefutable, ingenious things your business or institution or candidate can do in the age of the Internet that might keep you from getting your ass kicked, but then again might not," Joe Trippi offers an inspiring glimpse of the world we are becoming. And he shows how power, in the hands of all of us, changes everything.
