In a matter of seconds, an election race can change course. In the time it takes to type 140 characters, a single phrase uttered by a candidate can spark an internet meme. In a minute, a candidate can fall in or out of favor with the nation. These individual moments can sway the masses, including those coveted undecided voters still trying to make up their minds.

As things heat up in the game changing last days of election season, people are faced with a whole lot of noise and too many places to visit to get the holistic and balanced view of what’s really happening.
