SeatLedger puts congressional records back in the seat
A public lookup tool connecting U.S. House and Senate seats to votes, campaign contributions, elections, and their underlying sources.
Field notes
The site organizes congressional information around individual seats, with search paths through ZIP code, state, district, member, and map. Its homepage reports 978,387 recorded votes, 98,462 contributions, and 20,627 committees, while linking each figure to a filing or other provenance entry. The displayed workflow starts with official chamber, FEC, or state documents, then describes deduplication and cross-checking before publication. Location matching is described as browser-based and not sent to the site.
