Independent researchers
People who study how elections actually run and publish what they find. Some work with local clerks. Some disagree with each other. We give them a place to be read.
Listing is not endorsement. Researchers here are independent of any political party and independent of TrustVoting. We share their research and their actions. The views and numbers are theirs.
Self-disclosed, not verified by us. Each researcher states who pays for their work and which organizations they belong to. We publish that statement as written and note what we checked.
