Abstract

A prediction system provided with an integrated communications interface may include at least one processor configured to scrape the Internet to identify a currently pending legislative bill and information about legislators slated to vote on the pending bill. The processor may parse the information to determine a tendency position for each legislator. The processor may transmit for display to a system user a virtual whipboard that groups legislators into a plurality of groups based on determined tendency positions. The processor may receive a selected one of the plurality of groups of legislators for a communication interaction based on the determined tendency position of the group and access a legislator database that includes legislative communication addresses of legislative personnel scraped from the Internet and divided into a plurality of legislative function categories and receive from the system user a selection of at least one of the plurality of legislative function categories.
