where is there an unbiased voter's guide to both national and local election on the candidates?

NO.  All voter guides will be biased to a greater or lesser degree.  There is no substitute for keeping informed on an ongoing basis.  You cheat yourself by cramming at the last minute.

Check with Pa's Dept. of State.  They should have a link to the Board of Elections for Pa.  Check out www.state.pa.us - they may even link to Federal election results.

the local newspaper should have something.  Also, if you don't have your ballot yet, you should contact the elections department in your county to get one.

Examples: Local voting is for your mayor. State voting is for your governor. National voting is for you President. (There are many more, those are just examples of some.)

I don't know what websites you are looking at, but a quick search yields: http://www.politicalcompass.org/  Have you tried this one?  Also, I think Project Vote Smart has something like what you describe: http://www.vote-smart.org/index.htm

You cannot, as the individual biases of the people affect the poll.\n\nWhat you are looking for is a poll that represents the people, not one that is unbiased.  For that, you need a large sample.  If you were doing a poll involving a town of 500, talk to at least 350 people.  If you were doing a state, that number would be much larger.\n\nA poll is to show the opinions of the people, not to be unbiased.  So you  need a large sample of the group you are targeting to get a good poll.

I can only name one that I'm aware of, Diebold.  They're based in Ohio I believe and have been in the news quite a bit.  There has been speculation about their machines in the 2004 election and the proper counting of votes.  Should be lots of articles out there on it.
