The
Political Graveyard is a web site about U.S. political
history and cemeteries. It is the Internet's most comprehensive
source for American political biography, listing 192,291 politicians,
living and dead.
- The coverage of the site includes certain federal officials,
state officeholders and candidates in all 50 states, state and
national political party officials, federal and state judges, and
mayors (including candidates at election for mayor) of qualifying
cities.
- The listings are incomplete; development of the database
is a continually ongoing project.
