Checks and Balances for Negative Ads?
The Dick DeVos(MI-R) for Governor campaign has added a new section to its already featured packed Web site.
The feature, called Ad Check, allows viewers to view fact-checked versions of both the DeVos campaign's and the opposition's political ads. The fact checks are superimposed over the ads as they play and links to the sources cited in each fact check are provided.
Ad Check sounds like an innovative way to for Michigan residents to make more informed decisions during this year's elections by avoiding the influence of negative campaigning. You can view the new feature by visiting DeVos' site and clicking "Ad Check" near the bottom left of your screen. If the feature works well, perhaps more sites can use the technology to help voters from all states more educated voting decisions!
