Do You Know Your District?

Caliper's Political Maptitude

For the budding political consultant with an extra grand to spare, I direct your attention to the wonderful world of political GIS software. Via a story in Newsweek I came upon a piece of software called Political Maptitude.

With the software and targeted data for your state, district or precinct(conveniently sold by Caliper) you can "Understand Your Constituency, Add Voters to Your Maps, Map Events and Supporters, Map Yard Signs, and Design Efficient Neighborhood Walks." Everything a precinct captain needs to improve his GOTV efforts.
