Every candidate, committee, bill, vote, member, and nonprofit on this site is mirrored from primary U.S. government sources (FEC, congress.gov, govinfo.gov, IRS) and each state's Secretary of State / election commission β€” no third-party data vendors, no paywall, no editorial intermediation. Citations to the originating source are on every detail page.
