I have evaluated each state Democratic Party website.
I looked for these features:
- Blog
- Ability to donate online
- Link to meetup(s)
- State Dem event info
- State Dem news
- List of elected Dem officials
- Contact info (including e-mail address)
- Links to county Dem sites
- State party platform
- State Dem candidates
- Miscellaneous Links
- State party officers and staff
- Information for prospective candidates
- Spanish version of website
As always your feedback is welcome.

Note: Some features have a Y even though they might be flawed.
Sorry about the poor formatting. I hope this was somewhat understandable.
A few comments:
-The Ohio and Texas state parties have blogs. The Wyoming blog has no posts.
According to the chairman's message on the Oklahoma Democratic Party site, candidate training documents will eventually be added to their website. The South Dakota Democrats have a pop-up ad on their site that asks for people who are interested in running for the state legislature. Only a couple of sites had any information for those interested in running for office.
I am thinking about doing a similar analysis of Republican state sites and Democratic county sites.
