Welcome to the Undecided.com archives. Since Jan 4, 2004, this site has been collecting links to interesting sources of information and views pertaining to the all-important "swing voters", a modern catch-phrase for the Undecided.

The 2004 Presidential election is, at the time of this writing, too close to call. Major news media do a great job at concealing information from voters. Many independant news outlets are clearly biased in one direction or the other. A great deal of Bush-bashing or Bush-praising can be easily found. At Undecided.com, we try not to preach to the choir.

A lot of factors contribute to voters remaining undecided. Many 'swing voters' may not even vote, in the end, either because they cannot find enough simple, un-biased information upon which to base a decision, or because they cannot be bothered to participate in a process which they see as flawed, and their participation futile.

Whether you yourself are an undecided "swing voter", or you have an interest in undecided "swing voters", hopefully the information which has been gathered here can help you in furthering your quest for understanding, and, hopefully, making the right decision for you at the ballot box.
