What happens to a fact
- A staff member finds it on an official page such as the Supervisor of Elections or a county website, and enters it together with the link to that exact page.
- Nothing is public yet. Another staff member opens the same official page and compares it, line by line, with what was entered; or an admin who entered it confirms that every line matches that page.
- Only then does it appear here. Our records keep who entered each fact and who checked it, and say so when one admin entered and checked it alone.
- It is checked again when the source changes. A change goes through the same check, and each page shows the day a staff member last checked it.
What you will see on a page
- Links to official sites open the official site in a new tab. We add nothing about you to a link.
- Candidates are listed alphabetically by last name, with the same space for everyone. We do not rank, endorse or edit what a candidate says.
- A page that has nothing checked yet says so, instead of guessing.
When something looks wrong
The official source has the last word, because dates, hours and rooms can change. Check it before you go, and tell that office if it is their date or place that is wrong. If it is our copy that is wrong, tell us: say which page and what is right, and we will check it against the official source.
