A newly launched website, Votermaps.org, is giving residents in swing states the power to track voter history and detect potential voter fraud in their own neighborhoods. The platform, developed by three Republican founders, allows users to view voter information, including party affiliation and voting history, all on a detailed, interactive map.
The site currently offers real-time data for Pennsylvania, with plans to expand to other battleground states such as Ohio and Florida. Users can search specific neighborhoods to find anomalies in voter registration, such as ballots requested by individuals who have moved or passed away. The goal is to encourage citizens to act as “vote detectives” and flag any suspicious activity.
The co-founders, John LeFevre, Morgan Warstler, and Lawrence Abramson, say their platform is designed to “level the playing field” by giving the public access to data previously available only to political operatives. “We’re providing transparency to the voting process, helping people vote and also deterring potential fraud,” LeFevre told The Federalist.
Despite concerns about privacy, LeFevre insists the information is already publicly available, typically used by door-to-door canvassers during election seasons. The website also offers users the option to remove their names from the map by pledging to vote or returning their mail-in ballot.
The platform’s creators believe that increased transparency can restore trust in the election process, especially in battleground states where accusations of fraud are more prevalent. With its focus on citizen engagement, Votermaps.org hopes to promote free and fair elections by making voter data accessible to all.
