Amazon is beefing up Alexa with real-time election data

Alexa can't vote, but Amazon's digital assistant can help you do it.

In the run-up to election day in the U.S. (Nov. 6, if you weren't sure), Amazon is giving Alexa a more civic mind by beefing up the assistant's knowledge base of election data, including where to vote, real-time results, and even explanations of ballot measures. 

Now you'll be able to ask Alexa where your polling place is or who's leading in any particular race, and it'll respond with a real answer instead of just kicking you to a web search.
