Not many are aware that Ballotpedia is a classic example of tools that can make change. Not always good change. Unknown to most, it was an initiative of a super-conservative organization with extremist roots. They wanted to weaponize politics to benefit the far right, but were constantly working with bad legislative information. So they created this site to gather the info. Beware. It can still skew hard right when you least expect it.
