CONFUSING Site, with no way to track your own nominees

This site is WILDLY CONFUSING, disorganized and there seems to be no way to TRACK YOUR OWN NOMINEES. It would seem T has nominated most people, which is ridiculous.

Agreed. Like a 9th grade tech student using Microsoft Front Page! Very poorly designed and not even close to user friendly. Impossible to view on a mobile device.

I got to say, as a former gov. employee…this looks like one of their typical DIFFICULT to use sites. My gut feeling is…do they REALLY want this to work or are they just playing head games with us. This site is a dang mess and horrible to navigate. Bye.

Agreed! Doubting this site at all as a voice for common folks.

I think they opted to make a copy of their original project from October (“Policies for the People”), which was meant more as an internal tool for their platform than for something meant for all Americans to chime in. In this context, the website can be confusing and a bit simplistic. However, bear in mind that you give your real name etc. when you nominate someone, so it’s great that this is anonymized when a nominee is posted, and the email you receive clearly specifies you can work with their team to make changes to the nomination itself, so there IS a way to track your own nominees. I’m still waiting for my first nominee to show up but we’ll see how easy it is to edit submissions.

Some submissions are poorly made, there should be a way to recommend edits so the mods can implement them.

Here is how you see who you voted for on one list:

  1. Click on the User information icon in the top right corner

  2. The following drop-down menu will appear. Click the person icon at the bottom.

  3. The drop-down list will display a few options to pick from. Select “Activity”.

  4. The following webpage will appear. Click “Votes” on the far right.

  5. This will display all of your votes.

Hope this helps! Not an IT person for the site by the way. Just a user. Don’t be afraid to explore!

I couldn’t agree more. It has bounced me around while I’m attempting to vote and I can’t seem to vote for those I see fit for various roles in govt.

Well done. This will help many visitors to the site.

Thank you … worked perfectly.

Also, each category has a My Votes tab if users want to breakout their votes

Hi, why I don’t see the tab “submit nominee”?

They must have turned that feature off. The Submit Nominee button is no longer where it used to be.

Thanks for telling me! :slight_smile:
