There’s a lot to take in. Your state and country are worth a few minutes to check the facts before you vote.
No party endorsements. No algorithm telling you whom to support. Use official election resources, check the evidence, and make your own decision.
California voters: Explore the candidates, propositions, and issues that matter to you. Check your official county sample ballot for contests specific to your address.
Our mission: When public claims are misleading, unsupported, or contradicted by the evidence, we make that clear. We show the original claim, what reliable records actually establish, and the sources you can check yourself. We hold claims to the same standard regardless of who makes them.
California: Promises, Spending & Results. We distinguish documented falsehoods from disputed interpretations, missing data, and changing estimates. We do not label a claim false without sufficient evidence.
Evidence: LAHSA's July 2026 release estimated 45,194 people experiencing homelessness in the City of Los Angeles, up 3.4% from 2025; the estimated unsheltered count rose 7.9%. LAHSA says neither increase is statistically significant. The 2024 and 2025 estimates had declined.
Evidence: The California State Auditor found major gaps in tracking spending and outcomes across homelessness programs. State allocations approached $24 billion over five fiscal years (2018–19 through 2022–23). Missing performance data does not establish that the entire amount is missing or stolen. The audit identified two programs that appeared cost-effective and three without sufficient outcome data to assess.
CAL FIRE publishes current and historical fire counts and acreage. Compare equivalent time periods before drawing conclusions about changes in risk or government performance.
We expose demonstrably false or misleading claims using verifiable records—not assumptions or political loyalty. This section evaluates evidence, not political parties or candidates. Claims and numbers are dated; always check the linked primary source for updates. Need help understanding a claim? Use the ChatGPT research-question helper on this page.

Leave your assumptions at the door. Follow the facts, not the headlines.
Social media, news coverage, and political opinions don't always tell the whole story. People you support may have made harmful decisions. People you oppose may have made good ones.
Review your entire ballot, section by section, one candidate and one measure at a time—regardless of your existing opinions.
Take your time. Examine the actual records, laws, costs, consequences, and evidence from all sides. Return as often as you need before Election Day.
Don't vote based on who you like or dislike. Vote based on what you know.
