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 180,022 politicians, living and
dead.

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.
