BlueVoterGuide.org (BVG) is a web-based tool that reduces ballot intimidation by showing voters their specific ballot with all candidates, judges and measures, each accompanied by a list of their forward looking, pro-democracy endorsers. BVG makes voting faster and easier, drives higher turnout, and reduces ballot roll off.
