ACX Local Voting Guides

Scott compiles ACX local-meetup-produced voting guides for nine cities, with light, entertaining commentary on each group's format and local dramas (Austin's 'consider voting for the other party' section, Boston's eighteen-page dissents, Chicago's school-board fight, the Prop L/M mutually-cancelling San Francisco propositions where he jokes about stochastic voting, and a running gag about the best candidate names — Dave Upthegrove, the Polish 'Shannon O'Malley'). Fundamentally a community-organizing directory/aggregation post: a curated set of links plus asides, with a note about doing it better (earlier organizer contact) in 2026.

Quality 53 · Solid. Solid-floor (53). A community-admin aggregation of others' work, lifted a little above the bare floor by the genuinely fun curation and the light meta-commentary; little standalone insight.

Claude’s paradigm shift 26 · Slight. Slight (26). A one-off community coordination exercise; no novelty.

Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. 1 — a community meetup writeup; the guides may have nudged a few readers' votes but no measurable durable effect (Scott plans to survey whether they mattered).
