CalVoter.org is an organization dedicated to providing non-partisan information to California Voters. They provide a massive amount of infomation and present it in a well organized, easy to digest format. The site is indespensible to anyone researching an upcoming election whether you want to read about the ballot measures, find out where and how to vote, or want to find out who’s contributing moeny to the candidates.

They are hiring a Technology Director to handle all of their IT and Web needs. They aren’t paying much, although they’ll consider paying more if you’re fabulous. If you want an IT job where you’ll make a significant difference in the world, check it out.

I hope whoever gets the job puts together RSS feeds for their content.
