Happy Launch Day! Some updates since.
Sources now expire. Every source now carries the date we last retrieved it for more timely accurate context.
Fixed a bug that could have moved your saved pick to the wrong candidate. Picks were previously stored by a candidate's position on the list, but is now associated with their person.
Write-in candidates are now labelled. 24 candidates from the June primary are annotated correctly.
Unopposed races are cleaned up. This applied to 4 Assembly contests.
Edge-case support for candidate withdrawals or disqualification. We'll label if this happens clearly.
Prepared for August 13's ballot drawing. We will ingest the state's randomized-alphabet drawing of candidates so the order of names on our site matches what's on your paper ballot.
We now meet WCAG. 2.2 AA accessibility rules. But still more to do remains.
Internal documentation refreshes daily. Except for weekends. Robot get tired too!
Nice, we made it out of the 300s.

Let's go! All 182 candidates running for office in California have authored profiles!
We expanded our source list to properly write these candidate profiles and the lowest objectivity score is now 83 instead of 74. We are now experimenting with showing a candidate’s records, and adding unique context for roles with outlier comparisons such as
Rivas authoring just 1 bill; because he is Speaker and Speaker’s rarely author.
Gabriel who has authored 5x more than anyone else; because Budget chairs are nominal authors on every trailer bill.

If you have any feedback, suggestions, questions, or bugs - don’t be shy and please reach out. I will be tinkering with design, art and marketing and continuing to test systematically across all Californian addresses through November.

There's news about Nithya Raman losing her chairmanship in the Housing and Homelessness Committee after successfully moving against a consensus that voted to split the organization 13-1.
We tell you the facts behind the headlines. Now we have a daily Newspaper agent that checks for developments across high-profile contests such as the Mayoral and Governer elections. Issues will appear as an accordion for you to dive deeper. And of course, new sources recalculate the objectivity score.
