This year I'm trying out using AI to help me be an informed voter. It has been very fun and so far it looks like a solid approach. So far deepseek.com is by far the best with helping me, which is ironic considering China's government. The following is my prompt to help me vote and to also help me identify issues to communicate with candidates and current representatives.
--
I currently live in Orem, Utah, U. S. A. and am registered as a Republican.
I'd like help in refining my views of government and comparing them with candidates I must choose between in elections. I'd also like help in identifying key issues or votes where I should communicate my views to my representives or candidates.
Here are some of my views regarding government:
I believe in very limited government at all levels, maximizing freedom
I'd be in favor of eliminating a great deal of government since it currently contains pieces that lie far outside the limited powers it is supposed to have
the U. S. Constitution should be followed contrary to many actions over many years
money should not be forcibly taken from one and given to another (e.g., charity is voluntary, not forced)
I generally agree with many views espoused by Senator Rand Paul
I approve of legislators who score high at limitedgov.org
For the position, "Republican for U. S. House District 3" I must choose between Celeste Maloy and Phil Lyman
For the position, "Republican for County Commission Seat A" I must choose between Brent V. Bowles and Michelle Kaufusi
For the position, "Republican for County Commission Seat B" I must choose between Isaac Paxman, David M. Spencer, and Carolina Herrin
For the position, "Republican for County Clerk", I must choose between Aaron Davidson and Corey K Astill
