As the 2018 midterm elections approach, Abridge News wants to help you explore all the key races around the country. Click on states to view race specific details: Who is running? What are the candidates’ platforms & key issues? Which candidate would you vote for?
Thanks Lucas! I'm glad that you found this guide to be helpful. We focused on keeping it informative and hope to have even more content in the future. Happy voting! 🗳️
Hi PH!
Laura from the Abridge News team here! Our team had been searching for an objective, educational election guide that put candidate bios and issues all in one place. Tons of places (RealClearPolitics, FiveThirtyEight, etc.) provide guides that give polling predictions along with pundit talking points. We wanted to give you the candidates resumes and platform stances (straight from the candidates' respective websites) all in one place. We hope that you find this useful as you prepare to cast your vote on November 6th! 🇺🇸🗳️

Our team would love feedback! What do you like and what should we consider adding to this map in the future? Thanks! 🙏🏻🙏🏾

Instead of telling me what I should think, Abridge offers summaries of candidates’ platforms in a way that allows me to organically develop and defend my own view and votes. The freedom of thought makes me feel like Abridge credits and trusts its readers in a way that legacy news platforms can’t.
Pros:
Distills perspectives of candidates into quickly consumable blurbs without editorializing or directing readers to a conclusion.
Thanks Steve! I'm glad that you liked both our midterms guide AND our website which provides different perspectives on trending news. We are working hard at more content - we are testing out some breaking news features and as our team grows, our content can scale accordingly!
There's a lot of good information here, both on what the candidates have done in the past and how they present themselves now.
Pros:This is an easy-to-use, informative guide
Cons:Very few
