Michael Americans are very open about their political views; most have no problem sharing which candidate they plan to vote for in the upcoming presidential election in November. If they donate money to a candidate, this information is publicly accessible, and it was really only a matter of time before someone took the effort to display this on an online map.
On the website fundrace.huffingtonpost.com, it is easy to find out which neighbors vote conservatively or which neighborhood donates the most money to which party. Donors can find not only their name and address there, but also their profession, the donated amount, which party received it, and before which election this happened. For example, I found out that one of my colleagues donated a whopping $1000 to John Kerry in 2004, who lost to Bush at the time! Naturally, I teased him quite a bit about it, as you can imagine.
Greetings from two unfortunate non-voters:
Angelika & Michael
