A popular suggestion in the recent member survey was to offer a way for readers to weigh in on the biggest political stories of the day beyond just commenting.
So I’m testing Whip Count, a new feature that lets members cast a quick vote on timely questions and instantly see what fellow Political Wire readers are thinking.
It’s a fast, fun way to take the pulse of one of the most politically engaged communities anywhere.
