OpenWhat's in and what's out
Receipts are verified against live primary sources — OLIS roll-call votes for state legislators, Granicus Legistar for Metro Council, ORESTAR for campaign finance. Where a claim isn't yet verified, fwdio.org says so explicitly rather than guessing. Federal races (US Senate, House, Governor) and judicial races are out of scope for now — see the methodology for what's in, what's out, and why.
