N.C. elections site praised


North Carolina's online elections information is good.

That's the word from Social Government, a new blog created by two college students to track the government's use of the Internet.

After reviewing 49 of 50 Web sites for state boards of elections, American University student Ethan Klapper said "without much hestitation" that North Carolina's was the best.

The Tar Heel State’s Web site uses a clean and crisp design that is organized without any clutter. All of the information is easy to find. As a bonus, voters are even able to look up provisional ballot information. The top bar of the Web site contains current voter registration counts — a nice touch.

He said that North Carolina was one of 22 "above average" sites.
