Show HN: Pollsight – a simple tool to aid ballot research

Hi HN,I built Pollsight, an simple civic web application that aims to solve the problem of the amount of time++research needed to vote based on your preferences on an overwhelming amount of races and referendums by collecting data from various sources and aggregating and summarizing that content in line with what you care about.In Austin we have 53 Races, and 10 Propositions to vote on, and never enough time to devote to understand what each issue and candidate is about. So I built something to help with this process.What it does is collects info from a number of different places: social media, candidate websites, OpenFEC, Vote411, and other places, and utilizes that using a RAG db + your preferred interests + AI to rank candidates most inline with your interests and with summaries (with sources) of the "why".Would love feedback, especially on certain regions that don't have enough data (it's surprisingly hard to find everything!).Hope this helps! Now get out there and vote!
