Scott Alexander announces a plan to create voter guides for major US cities, listing meetup details for eight locations where ACX readers will collaborate on local election recommendations. Longer summary
Scott Alexander is organizing voter guides for major US cities with a significant ACX readership. Eight city meetup groups have volunteered to create these guides. The post lists the dates, times, locations, and contact information for meetups in Austin, Boston, Chicago, NYC, Oakland, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle. Participants are encouraged to bring smartphones or computers and any voting guides they've received to help with research. The meetups are tasked with sending their final recommendations to Scott by October 21. Shorter summary

Each election year, I’ve shared how I plan to vote in local elections. This year I want to scale up and produce voter guides for all the big US cities/states with a critical mass of ACX readers. Eight big city meetup groups have offered to work on this. If you’re in one of their cities, consider going to the meetup and helping decide who to recommend (you’ll probably want to bring a smartphone or computer, plus any voting guide you’ve received, to help with research). The cities are:
