[conspire] election information?

Quoting Paul Zander (paulz at ieee.org):

> Meanwhile, I looked at League of Women Voters.  They have positions on

That's a start.  Want a much longer list of places to check?  Courtesy

Additional Resources

Lifehacker [248]article: "How to Quickly Research All Your Local
Elections" Fair Political Practices Commission has [249]contributor
records that help follow the money trail.
 
Followers of these pages will note that I always heed [250]Pete Stahl's
analyses (of statewide propositions), [251]League of Women Voters of CA
(a highly respected [252]non-partisan voter education organization),
[253]Ballotpedia (a [254]project of nonprofit Lucy Burns Institute of
Wisconsin), [255]CalMatters (an [256]independent journalism venture run
as a nonprofit out of Sac'to), [257]Voter's Edge (whose [258]California
pages are a joint project of League of Women Voters of California
Education Fund and Berkeley nonprofit MapLight that studies and tracks
the influence of money on politics in the United States), [259]Vote
Smart (a [260]non-profit, non-partisan research organization),
[261]Politifact (a [262]fact-checking site run by non-profit journalism
school Poynter Institute), [263]ProPublica (an NYC [264]journalism
nonprofit project), and the [265]SFEndorsements site collects
endorsements and voter guides during each election season for all San
Francisco local, California state, and national candidates and measures.

[266]Left Coast Right Watch is of course partisan, but eagle-eyed about
some candidates' involvement with political extremism.

Supreme Court of California Blog ([267]SCOCAblog) has astute coverage of
legal issues about voting and related matters.

I also strongly recommend skim-reading Ballotpedia's [268]Laws
governings the initiative process in California page and making sure one
understands it, prior to evaluating statewide propositions. Parts of it
are highly relevant to proposition tactics (e.g., competing propositions
on the same topic, legislative alteration) and other vital concerns.

True California-politics professionals subscribe to [269]California
Target Book, a comprehensive non-partisan effort to study state
districts and political races. (I am not that obsessive.)
