Explore election-reporting networks, company ownership, and technology relationships. Each box is a person, organization, product or public system. Select a box or line to see its sources, dates and evidence limits.
Select a box to learn what that person, organization or system does. Use the search to find a name; “Focus selected node” keeps only its direct connections.
Lines & arrows
A line represents a specific relationship described in a source. Its color identifies the relationship type. Arrows follow the relationship wording, not necessarily a flow of votes or data. Select a line—or its entry in Connections—to read it.
Dates & unknowns
A publication or observation date is not necessarily the start of a relationship. “Known active on” requires both a documented start and end date. Missing dates do not prove that a relationship was inactive.
Sources & limits
“What the sources support” describes the evidence; “What is not established” identifies its limits. Source types describe where a statement came from, not a certainty score. “Content check only” means the source was read, but no saved source version is linked here.
Guided examples: inspect one connection at a time
Each example isolates a source-backed link and resets the filters needed to see it. Read its evidence and limits in the inspector.
USA TODAY: historical AP services and 2026 recruitment
As observed October 12, 2026, university-hosted listings attributed to USA Today – Election Team describe November 3 collection of officials' released totals, not ballot counting. North Carolina names Whiteville and Lincolnton (stated deadline October 21); Texas names seven counties, including Harris (deadline October 29). Recruitment is not evidence of hires or deployment. No matching stringer result was visible in the Dayforce search at review time; that does not establish absence of recruitment. No onward AP feed is established.
Still needed: An employer-hosted recruitment notice or confirmation, contracting entity, final coverage assignments and an attributable reporting-destination record. Do not infer an AP route from the separate 2024 parent-company agreement.
Reporting & surveys: Who collects or shares reported election totals, and who supplies voter research. Reporting totals, making a news race call and surveying voters are different activities; surveys are not ballot counts.
Documented by uses the recorded document or observation date—not a verified operating period. Include undated records keeps links whose observation/publication date is unknown.

Harris County: bridge the equipment records to a specific election · open
