Here’s how it will work: users begin by drafting a team of Presidential and Congressional candidates. During the campaign, points are awarded and deducted for 1) how those candidate behave and 2) what users do. So how will the game score the candidates? MTV will compile data from Politifact (“Truth-O-Meter” scores), RealClearPolitics (polling numbers), Project Vote Smart (courage on issues), Center for Responsive Politics (financial transparency) and the Wesleyan Media Project (content of TV advertising) to “reward candidates for exhibiting behaviors voters deserve, and penalize politicians for behaviors that hurt our democracy.”
