How it works
CivicAlign collects public government data, checks it independently, and turns it into plain-language explanations.
- Where the data comes from: Voteview (UCLA) for how members of Congress have voted on recorded roll calls; the official GovInfo bill-status records for Senate bills, their sponsors and committee actions; the U.S. Census Bureau for state populations; the American Ideology Project survey for each state’s public; and the public congress-legislators roster for senators, parties and committee membership.
- Updated daily: the site refreshes every day from those sources.
- Checked before publishing: a separate checker recounts every published number from the source files with its own code. If anything disagrees, nothing is published and the previous version stays up.
- No AI: no AI is used to classify the political data. Every group and sentence comes from a fixed, published rule.
- Senators’ positions and the reference figures: Voteview (UCLA), member file
HSall_members.csv,nominate_dim1. - Bills, their actions, sponsors and committees: GovInfo bill-status bulk data (BILLSTATUS), Senate bills.
- State public estimates: American Ideology Project (Tausanovitch & Warshaw), v2022a, doi:10.7910/DVN/BQKU4M.
- State populations: U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2024 estimates.
- Senate roster, party, committee membership and committee names: unitedstates/congress-legislators.
