Election 2026 · Public beta
Independent, source-first accountability
Methodology
The Stated Record uses automation to collect and organize public information. It does not use automation to publish accusations, assign intent, or decide whether two records contradict one another.
The publishing standard
Human reviewed
Public words
A dated quotation from an official site, speech, verified social account, or interview, shown with enough context to understand it.
Original sourceOfficial record
A named roll call, bill action, filing, or other primary record, with the original government source attached.
Official recordA human-reviewed note explains what the two records do and do not establish. No automated verdict is published.
01
Official votes, filings, transcripts, and first-party statements come before summaries or commentary.
02
A quotation is not separated from its date, venue, surrounding language, or source.
03
A vote can involve compromises and procedural effects. We explain those limits instead of flattening every vote into a slogan.
04
Automation gathers and organizes records. A human reviews every interpretive comparison and correction.
A comparison places two documented records side by side. It does not, by itself, prove motive, dishonesty, or hypocrisy. Votes can be procedural, bills can contain many provisions, and public language can change over time. Each published comparison therefore includes dates, primary sources, relevant bill context, and a note describing the limits of the evidence.
Substantive corrections will be dated and attached to the affected record. Readers can report an error at corrections@statedrecord.com.
