Why did we choose the Election Project?
For starters the project opened up a more in depth understanding not only about our 2016 Presidential Candidates, but how they relate to presidencies in the past. We also focused on the importance of fact-checking. I can say that in the past I've thought or assumed something based on what my peers have to say about that topic or person. Fact-checking eliminates all assumptions and can make voters more educated. After using our knowledge and fact-checking quotes said by the presidential candidates we put this to use by creating info-graphics and videos on the information we found to inform others and encourage them to vote in the upcoming election.

Where did we start?
Isidewith.com is a quiz on how your beliefs correspond with each presidential canditate. At the end of the quiz it tells you who you match with the most. After telling you who you best correspond with on your opinions, you are able to go back through and look at their views on those specific topics. In my case, I best matched with Gary Johnson which I though was fairly interesting mainly because i had never heard of him before this quiz or the election.
