More in Elections
Coverage takes in candidate announcements and their strategic context, primary and general election polling, campaign finance filing data, voting rights and election administration legislation, candidate debate coverage and results reporting with the demographic and geographic breakdowns that explain what happened. Campaign finance disclosure has become a more granular and more publicly accessible source of coverage as filing requirements have expanded and data tools have made large disclosure records analyzable in ways that manual review did not allow. Polling coverage has developed its own accountability dimension as aggregation, methodology assessment and track record analysis have become standard parts of how media organizations present survey data rather than simply reporting toplines. Election administration — how votes are cast, counted and certified — has become a more prominent subject in election coverage, with disputes over procedures and timelines generating stories that run alongside the candidate and campaign reporting.
