Politiscope, an app to track Congressional voting records and bills, launches on Android devices

Last September, two former National Football League players launched an app called Politiscope to track the voting records of members of Congress and the bills that they were introducing -- and provide non-partisan information about what those bills and votes would mean to voters. The pro-football-playing brothers, Walter Powell Jr. and Brandon Williams, launched the app to provide an accurate accounting of what Congressional leadership was doing -- something the two felt was necessary given the political climate and the ways in which the traditional sources of education on political issues were being called into question. Now the two brothers are expanding Politiscope's reach by launching the Android version of the service.
