Methodology

What this is

Watch the Vote is a live map of armed-group activity, federal immigration enforcement, voter intimidation and suppression news, and court filings near voting infrastructure ahead of the 2026 federal midterm elections.

Where the data comes from

Every point on the map comes from published datasets, court records, and news coverage, refreshed hourly. Items are matched to coverage criteria automatically, then reviewed by an editor before they're marked verified. The only thing a visitor can submit directly is an email sign-up for registration reminders and, separately, an activity tip — and a tip never appears on the map until an editor has reviewed it.

What it records

Watch the Vote records organizations and events, never private individuals.

A project by Shadowbanned Media. Watch the Vote pulls from published datasets, court records, and news, and refreshes every hour. The only thing visitors can submit is an email sign-up for registration reminders; everything else on the map comes from the automated feeds and editor review. It records organizations and events, never private individuals.
