I'm curious what software the presidential candidates are using to run their websites. I've tried to find as many candidates as possible. Candidates without websites are excluded, as are parties without cadidates. I've also excluded the “lesser-known” candidates from the “major” parties, because I just don't get the point.
I am not the only person to undertake such a study, though mine is more thorough than any other that I could find.
