My focus was on CA vs TX voter participation, since I lived in both as a voting adult.

I deemed CA the better choice for political engagement, and one of the things I listed in its favor was how the state provided a guide like you described for candidates and propositions, to help voters understand what was on a ballot.

Voting is much better in CA compared to the red states I've had to live in, in every way.

Wish I could afford to live there again, but I never will.
