Field notes
The example ballot card combines a candidate’s status and campaign-site quotation with a legislative item, a plain-English summary, and a link to the original record. The page says each claim has a source and that summaries are labeled. It also points voters to state registration, polling-place, and voter-ID information; full local ballot coverage is reported for six Texas counties.
