A new online tool, Votermaps.org, is offering swing state residents unprecedented access to voter data, allowing anyone to view voter history and registration information in their own neighborhood.
The site, which was launched by three Republican entrepreneurs, aims to increase transparency in the election process and help citizens detect possible voter fraud.
The founders of the site, John LeFevre, Morgan Warstler, and Lawrence Abramson, designed the platform to provide real-time data on voters’ histories and current ballot statuses. “We level the information playing field transparently, allowing all citizens to be activists, influencers, fraud detectors, and champions of free and fair elections,” Votermaps.org explains on its site.
Although the data is currently only available for Pennsylvania, the site plans to expand to other battleground states as more information becomes accessible. Users can zoom in on their neighborhoods and view details about each registered voter at specific addresses, including whether they voted by mail or in-person, and their party affiliation.
The site encourages people to become “vote detectives,” inviting them to identify inconsistencies such as deceased individuals or those who have moved still being listed as active voters. LeFevre notes that by making this information public, the goal is to restore trust in the electoral system and deter potential fraud.
While some privacy concerns have been raised, LeFevre insists the data is already public and is typically used by political canvassers. He says users will be able to remove their names from the map by promising to vote or returning their mail-in ballot, keeping the data fresh.
