How this list is made
A name gets on the list when its presence on the ballot can be
pointed to — a published tracker, a filed candidacy, a chapter’s own slate —
and its platform earns a chip only when that can be pointed to: a stated
position, a documented record, a sourced interview. Each entry carries the date it
was last checked and the source it was checked against. When a candidate is elected,
loses, or drops out, the status moves; when a chapter endorses someone new, the
list grows.
Two tiers, one rule. The base list is DSA’s own election night tracker — every race
its chapters are watching on November 3, 2026, pulled from their published table.
Entries without a platform chip are on the ballot, not yet verified: the name is
real, the record is still being checked. The list grows the slow way — by being
checked.
The November 3, 2026 results were applied the same way: a status moves only when it
can be pointed to — a race called in the results feed with the math in its
favor, an official results portal, or a local paper’s called line. Multi-seat races
were checked against their published seat counts before anyone was marked a winner
or a loser. Where the calling is still out, the entry stays running until
it is not.
With results in, elected candidates lead the default list — federal first,
then state and local — with the not-yet-called and lost entries following in their
usual order. Use the Elected filter
for just the winners.
It is a tool, not a mandate: vote where you vote — and hold the list, and the
winners, to account afterward. Know of a candidate we should verify, a result we
got wrong, or an entry that has gone stale?
