About
About That Election™ was created as an opportunity for dialogue with voters to tell their story – stories that illuminate not only what they are thinking about upcoming elections, but why they are thinking they way they are, and help us to become the informed citizens that democracy demands.
About That Election™ will initially focus on voters in Erie County, Pennsylvania – the county that has picked the winner in 25 of the last 28 statewide elections and has been dubbed “Perhaps America’s Swingiest Swing County.”
