Richard,

The instructions for voting are not clear.

I've clicked on each and every link; even signing on to Facebook & the USA Today page and clicking the vote here icon. There doesn't appear to be any place where my vote can be recorded.

We took this link down on our page.
It's mission is really an name, email and birthday information collection site.
I can guess that anyone signing will get plenty of unwanted age targeted emails.
Who knows where this collected info will be sold.

The D & C is promoting another local project to the same site.  The backing company behind the site is USA Today, owned by same company that owns D & C, Gannett Co.

Install Adblock Plus or uMatrix browser extensions and see all the red-flagged tracking scripts, cookies, and xhrs Gannett sites try to deploy onto your browser. The first extension i install for a new browser: an element blocker.

The Democrat & Chronicle reporters do decent mainline reporting, but it's otherwise sad to see what print journalism has become. Think of it this way: all the effort to produce ads surrounding the “news hole” in print now goes into displaying fewer ads and more into gathering and marketing viewership data.
