State Website Exposes Individuals' Party Affiliations


Every so often, we like to share new sources of information that our staff has found helpful.  Today we present to you one of the more controversial information sources we've come across. (Don't shoot us, we're just the messenger.)

Have you ever wondered if your family members are registered to vote in Nebraska elections? Have you ever thought about which political party your boss belongs to? Your kids? Maybe your neighbors? It's all public information.

The Nebraska secretary of state's office runs a website called VoterCheck.  All you need to enter is the proper spelling of an individual's first and last name, as well as their county in which they reside.  Do that and you will be given the person's political affiliation (Democrat, Republican, non-partisan, independent), as well as a list of every single district in which he/she resides.  School districts, NRDs, public power districts -- it's all there.

  2. Don't be ashamed of your party affiliation, whatever it is.

    Guess some folks are afraid of freedom of information.
