I used to call myself conservative/republican (middle -> high school), then libertarian (college), now, I don't use any labels. I believe in non-violence/non-coercion and science (largely of the Popper variety).

And will you try to keep the project impartial/

I hope to have a design where partiality is not even possible. Any recording of any office-holder or person running to hold an office is what I want to collect, categorize, and make available.

I think you might be right regarding violence. I thought about it quite a bit a few years ago and it seems to me that our best understanding of reality shows that coercion, in some form, may be essential. That is, things (eg. 'particles') exert some influence on other things. However, my belief in non-violence/non-coercion is at a personal-action level and it would be more correct to say "belief in not initiating violence/coercion" . I am under no illusion that violence and coercion don't actually exist.

I have considered Kickstarter in the past, but they have some particular requirements about the structure of your project. It could work, but I have been looking at GoFundMe recently. It seems a bit more simple to deal with. I'd definitely accept bitcoin donations, but I haven't set up an address specifically for funding this project yet.
