Team E-Voter (2008) is researching a new prominent component of political campaigns - campaign internet websites. We are looking at two primary questions:

• How do congressional candidates use their websites to help them win their races?
   

• How are these websites used to help voters learn about the candidate?

We have taken an empirical approach to our research, where we are gathering a large body of information about candidates, their websites and their campaign districts. Our data collection phase was completed in December 2006 and data analysis will start in January 2007.
