Comment on How am I supposed to decide who to vote for in local elections?

First i go to vote411 (.org i think). It’s a website from the league of women voters that asks each candidate the same questions. Sometimes candidates don’t answer or are so vague that their answers are useless. Then i look to see who the local newspaper is endorsing. When both of those are unsuccessful, i find the hateful group (in Texas it’s the true Texas project), see who they endorse, and vote opposite.

I used this same tactic on other websites (mentioned in other comments) and it works extremely well. The incumbent failed to answer certain questions while a new candidate was eager to and had some really great game plans to tackle issues our city was facing. They ended up winning which was awesome and started putting policies in place that are doing good for people in the city.
