Ask the question the ballot doesn't answer

You now know who's running in Ohio. The harder questions come after that — what one vote in Congress can and can't change, how a bill dies in committee, who funds a campaign like this one. Type one in and Askidono pulls the sources from the Quarex library and writes you a cited answer.
