Imraan Siddiqi is the Majority Pick from Lefty organizations tracked by ElectionCheatSheet.org for 32nd District State Rep. Position 2. @imraansiddiqi.bsky.social leftycheatsheet.org#e=20261103&r...

Most of civic tech projects our group has created grew out of a personal need for those tools. The fact that other people use them is great. The fact that other people sometimes promote them without our permission & seem to coopt them for their own purposes is not something we can control.

We love that people are finding @electioncheatsheet.org a useful way to research candidates and save time doing it. We have heard our finance lookup info is very helpful!

Kelabe Tewolde is the Majority Pick from Lefty organizations tracked by ElectionCheatSheet.org for 37th District State Rep. Position 1. @kelabe.bsky.social leftycheatsheet.org#e=20261103&r...

We don’t ordinarily include endorsements from individuals, but we’ll make an exception here … leftycheatsheet.org#e=20261103&r...

King County Elections let you down, so we made a sticker for you to share after you’ve used LeftyCheatSheet.org to vote :)

Come on D5! I voted for Nilu Jenks this afternoon. Now you go!

Lefty Cheat Sheet: Election choices ‘beyond our two major newspapers’ — and some Seattle left on left political rassling

I used this as well when I filled out my ballot today. It was a big help for the judges, and a couple other people I didn't know...

CivicTide wishes it could generate even 10% of the buzz electioncheatsheet.org is generating. Btw I used ECS to help me fill out my ballot and it is by far the best progressive Seattle and Washington voter guide out there.

Seattle Conservatives: Sara Nelson spending 65 thousand dollars on a news website that wants to turn hearts and minds with AI slop. I can read my own prompt output, tyvm. Seattle Progressives: Humans coming together to build @electioncheatsheet.org, an amazing guide to Seattle elections.

Please let us know if using @electioncheatsheet.org made voting easier for you!

I like the groups featured in the lefty cheat sheet and used it to help inform my votes. But if you don't, you should find your trusted orgs and listen to them instead... If we all voted the same way, we wouldn't really need to hold elections now would we 🤔

Share the Cities built Lefty Cheat Sheet to better inform Seattle voters of the range of endorsing organizations that exist beyond our two major newspapers. It was built with us and our own communities in mind, and then shared with everyone to use and to customize. leftycheatsheet.org/about.html

Voted using @electioncheatsheet.org for #Burien using the 37th LD filter and then researched the two judges that weren’t on the aggregator website. Saved me time even though the tool is for Seattle! #VoteEarly

Teresa Mosqueda is the Majority Pick from Lefty organizations tracked by ElectionCheatSheet.org for King County Council District 8. #LeftyCheatSheet

It’s pretty rare to see someone publicly admit in writing that they intentionally violated the “age-old” (1999) Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). 😆 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticyb...

We voted! I don’t trust the mail to get it there on time anymore. Thanks @paulconstant.com for cluing me into @electioncheatsheet.org

Rebecca Saldaña is the Majority Pick from Lefty organizations tracked by ElectionCheatSheet.org for King County Council District 2. @rebeccasaldana1.bsky.social

Got Ballot Seattle? Check out this guide to using Lefty Cheat Sheet to research races, endorsements, and candidate finances! It's awesome!

I love the option to adjust how different endorsement sources are weighted in the latest Election Cheat Sheet. I was already pretty confident in my voting choices before ballots arrived today, but 100% agreement from the sources I care most about really sealed it.

We don’t want to take legal action to protect the brand Lefty Cheat Sheet but if someone wants to be our lawyer and write a letter to Eileen Pollet reach out on our contact page.

Need more info? @electioncheatsheet.org is a great place to find more electioncheatsheet.org

Great news fellow Seattleites! Your progressive voting guide is here.

More explicitly a relative of Rep. Pollet, Eileen, who owns a consulting firm that a lot of Dems have used, bought leftycheatsheet dot com and is redirecting it to the FUSE guide as an attempt to confuse people trying to find leftycheatsheet.org

My ballot arrived today! I feel pretty informed about the major races in my district, but have no idea about the many many judges that are on the ballot this time. I feel confident about making my choices with the help of @electioncheatsheet.org

Got my ballot in the mail yesterday, voted using the @electioncheatsheet.org last night, and dropped my ballot off at the nearest drop box this morning. Voting should be this easy for everyone.

This is great stuff

We also show PDC campaign finance data as side-by-side bars for easy comparison. Unique to our leftycheatsheet.org tool is our disaggregation of donors by In-Seattle vs Rest of Washington vs Out-of-state. This helps you spot if someone who's supposed to rep Seattle is oddly funded by outside money.

All WA state candidates are required to disclose assets + income sources. We use this to figure out if the candidate might be a landlord, and how many properties they own. Being/not being a landlord isn't the whole story, but having this info at a glance is unique to our leftycheatsheet.org tool.

Our Finances visualizations are mostly powered by data from our WA PDC (Public Disclosure Commission). We are lucky to live in a state with some of the best transparency requirements! The PDC site can be hard to use, so we focused on helping you to quickly see key differences between candidates.

The new finances tab is really cool and provides some transparency for folks that don’t want to get into the weeds of the PDC leftycheatsheet.org#e=20261103&r...

The @electioncheatsheet.org is such a great resource! Ballots are arriving soon, be prepared to vote and use the cheat sheet! electioncheatsheet.org

Here's a quick endorsement aggregator with a lefty bias for all you to use if you're in Seattle. It's completely built by volunteers in your community too!

I am in awe of the volunteers involved in Lefty Cheat Sheet @electioncheatsheet.org who are ensuring it is accurate and useful and responding to feedback working really hard to make an awesome research tool.
