It can be difficult for most voters to do quality research on candidates thanks to busy schedules, the proliferation of fake new sources or news sources that voters do not trust, and the number of races going on. But the Arizona Clean Election Commission might have a useful tool for voters who have some screen time available.
They have hosted candidate forums for most of the important races and the videos are available to be streamed online. Although not the best quality, it is a chance for voters to listen to candidates in their own words, without any media filter whatsoever.
