Great new resource: Superdelegate Transparency Project

In their own words: The Superdelegate Transparency Project is the central gathering place for compiling primary and caucus results--Congressional district by Congressional district--for states that have to date held their races, and going forward until the Democratic nomination is secured. We are compiling the district-by-district results of the popular vote and pledged delegates, and then tracking these results against how superdelegates are currently pledged (or have publicly endorsed a candidate), and how they eventually vote.

 

The aim of this project is to open up the Democratic nomination process, and to gauge what effect the superdelegates have on the nomination. Rather than hypotheticals at the end of this nomination process, we seek to make hard data available to all interested parties, including citizens, activists, journalists, bloggers, campaign staffers and people around the world who are following this U.S. election. This is the only project currently tracking this data at the district level.

 

My quick take on this: This is another great example of building a powerful resource using the inputs of many interested individuals. The wiki format enables easy and instant participation. Many of our organizations could likely benefit from not only this content, but also the idea of developing resources in this open, distributed fashion.
