Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive political simulation where users bid to control one of 51 governor’s offices—or try to buy the presidency.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The interface models political control as a competitive board: 51 governor’s offices are ranked by bid, while the presidential route uses a 270-vote majority target. Participants can attach a site, X profile, or app link and provide a name, logo, and one-line description before submitting a bid. The page lists $1, $5, $25, and $100 increments and says a later participant can take a seat for $1 above the current governor. The extracted demo declares that no Stripe payment or charge occurs.
