==Description==
==Description==
We originally described this collaboratory of collaboratories as a WateringHole as a play on our name, "BlueOxen." (One of our corporate tenets is to use as many bad PaulBunyan? puns as possible.)
In the spirit of the success of the 2004 Sinclair Broadcasting Protest, we welcome additions for civic engagement where people vote with their money.


At MGTaylor's 2004 7-Domains Workshop in Nashville, MattTaylor described another aspect of a WateringHole that characterizes this space as well. A WateringHole exemplifies coopetition, in that both predator and prey gather there to drink with little fear of being eaten. Matt also pointed out that alligators in the water are the exception to the rule. Here, we try to keep the alligators away.
On our wiki, we document traditional issues like the PrimaryProcess and ElectoralCollege and would encourage more references on ElectionPsychology - such as the infamous BallotBoxQuestion or how parties get away with ElectoralFraud.
