Our commitment to neutrality, source verification, and editorial independence.
Purple Voice operates on a single principle: receipts, not rhetoric. Every claim we make links to its source. Every vote count, bill summary, and contribution record comes from official government databases. We don’t tell you what to think. We show you what happened, with the evidence to verify it yourself.
No orphaned claims. Every vote record, bill text, contribution filing, and court decision links directly to the issuing agency. If we cite it, you can verify it.
We do not endorse candidates. We do not take policy positions. Our role is to publish the record — voting history, funding sources, legislative text — and let readers draw their own conclusions.
Advertisers fund the infrastructure. They do not influence content. No sponsor can suppress a data point, alter a vote record, or request removal of unflattering facts.
Every record links to its official source. Updated daily.
We distinguish three forms of content, and we mark them clearly:
Most of what you read on Purple Voice is data. Analysis appears in deep-dive articles and is clearly labeled. Opinion is the exception, not the rule.
Purple Voice does not take policy positions. We do not endorse candidates. We do not publish “What Congress Should Do Next” editorials.
Occasionally, we publish guest opinion pieces from subject-matter experts or stakeholders. These are:
Our institutional voice remains neutral. Always.
Every fact on Purple Voice originates from a primary or authoritative secondary source. We do not republish claims from other news outlets without independent verification.
Primary sources we use:
When we use secondary sources (news reports, academic studies), we evaluate their methodology and cross-reference their claims with primary documents. If we cannot verify a claim, we do not publish it.
For a detailed breakdown of how we collect and normalize data, see our Methodology page.
Purple Voice accepts advertising to fund operations. Advertisers have zero influence over editorial decisions.
If a legislator’s voting record contradicts an advertiser’s interests, we publish the voting record. Every time.
We make mistakes. When we do, we correct them transparently.
Our correction policy:
If you spot an error, email [email protected]. We investigate every claim and respond within 48 hours.
Across 916 published articles and 11,596 aggregated news items, we maintain a public corrections log. Errors are rare because our content is data-driven, not interpretive — but when they occur, we own them.
No. We do not endorse candidates, parties, or policy positions. We publish voting records, contribution data, and legislative history. Voters decide what those records mean.
Through advertising, newsletter subscriptions, and institutional partnerships. Advertisers fund infrastructure; they do not influence editorial decisions. No advertiser can suppress data or request content changes.
The Methodology page explains how we collect and process data — refresh schedules, normalization rules, data sources. This page explains how we conduct ourselves editorially — neutrality, sourcing standards, corrections policy, advertiser independence.
Every vote count and bill summary links to its official source — Congress.gov, the House Clerk, or the Senate. If you see a discrepancy, click the source link and verify. If the source link is wrong, report it to [email protected].
Rarely, and only as clearly labeled guest commentary. Purple Voice staff do not write opinion pieces. Our institutional voice remains neutral and data-focused.
Email [email protected] with the URL, the error, and the correct information (with a source link if possible). We investigate every report and respond within 48 hours.
