Every vote in Congress is cast in somebody’s name.
537 people hold a federal seat right now. This is the record of what they have done with it — 3,459 roll calls, the money behind each campaign, and the source document under every figure.
Before any of it: what this site will not do.
- 973,204 recorded votes, each with how the chamber split
to tell you what they support
A vote is a thing someone voted on, not a position. Two readers of the same votes reach different conclusions, and choosing one for you would be the only unsourced number on the page.
- every figure with the document behind it, from 34 named sources
to print a number it cannot trace
Provenance travels with the figure, and text you copy carries the citation with it. Where a source is silent, the page says so instead of estimating.
- prediction-market prices, as prices
to publish a forecast, including its own
A price is what a trader will pay for a contract, carrying their fees, their tied-up capital, and however few of them are trading. It is not a probability, and this site has none.
- the FEC’s own filing for all 20,531 committees behind 96,337 contributions
to invent an industry and ship it as fact
Corporation, labor organization, leadership PAC — those are the government's words, not ours. Where an outside publisher has assigned a category, their name travels with it.
- absences, labelled as absences
to draw missing data as zero
A member with no record and a member who voted no are different facts. A chart that renders them the same has made a claim nobody checked.
- the gap between how a district votes and how its member does, for all 537 of them
to call that gap good or bad
It is a measurement against the district's own presidential result — an arithmetic distance, not a verdict. What it means is the reader's to decide.
