poli,cians
voted
and
promised
on
topics
that

important
to
you!”
The

Afghanistan
Property

! Based on these topics, we collect related votes and promises and
present them on the same page.
! The viewer can now compare votes to the promises and decide if
the politician has done what he or she promised.
