DON’T TRUST US.
CHECK US.
Every important factual claim should lead to the evidence behind it.
Facts
Show where the number, rule, date, or historical claim came from.
Arguments
Show evidence supporting the argument and meaningful evidence against it.
Positions
When RankedVoting.us takes a position, label it as a position instead of disguising it as a fact.
Sources & research
The references are part of the site, not an afterthought.
The next data pass will connect factual claims directly to their sources and build a maintainable research library.
Rule: A source should be cited for what it actually proves. A law proves what the law says. A dataset proves the values it reports. An advocacy group proves what that group argues. None automatically becomes the single authority for every claim.
