Votebeat

U.S. center, nonprofit election-administration desk

Votebeat is a nonprofit newsroom, part of Civic News Company alongside Chalkbeat and Healthbeat, funded mainly by foundation grants and donor philanthropy rather than a single owner or ads. It focuses narrowly on election administration, not general politics, and its coverage of the Trump administration is mixed — critical of election-integrity claims and administrative actions it finds unsupported, but also willing to critique Democratic officials and funding gaps.

Owned byCivic News Company (nonprofit parent that also owns Chalkbeat and Healthbeat); founded/run by journalist Jessica Huseman under CEO Elizabeth Green
