According to Elinor Mills at CNET News.com, Google Maps is planning on introducing its new political Google Earth 2006 Election mashup.
The Google Earth 2006 election resource tool indicates the country’s 436 congressional districts with stars on the popular 3D map of the country. Clicking on a star pops open a bubble window that has information on the candidates in that race.
The window also includes links to news, images and Web search results on candidates, as well as to information on where and how to vote and campaign finance reform.
Once launched it should be an interesting tool for political hobbyists or even small market politicians to contrast and compare their campaigns with similar areas around the United States.
