RaceTracker for Race Tracking

Via Sunlight Foundation Blog comes news of an interesting new project called RaceTracker.  It looks like Politics1 on steroids.  (But Politics1 has other offices listed.) The RaceTracker project on the OpenCongress wiki tracks every election for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives and state governor. RaceTracker is a free, open-source, fully-referenced, and non-partisan public resource.

The Hill reports that House Ethics is investigating Rep. Rangel. Eugene Isenberg, the oil executive accused of trying to influence Rangel through a $1 million donation to the education center bearing Rangel’s name, is cooperating with an ethics committee investigation into the matter and predicts that the panel will find no wrongdoing.
