  • openstates-scrapers

    source for Open States scrapers

  • https://congressionaldata.org/library-of-congress-launches-c...

    https://govtrack.us – mentioned there – is an amazing resource for federal legislative data and continues to evolve.

    There are a number of sites for tracking donations if you are concerned about money and politics. https://www.opensecrets.org is the one I check the most often – but I find that the journalists tend to make it more sensible. e.g. https://www.exposedbycmd.org/2022/08/15/kyrsten-sinema-has-m...

    https://www.ballotpedia.org has great election related information as well as a bit of analysis around state trifectas in particular.

    Likewise https://openstates.org/ has a ton of well indexed state legislative data as mentioned in a separate comment.

    And after years of effort by the Free Law Project https://free.law/ big changes are a foot with PACER for legal dockets:

  • api.congress.gov

    congress.gov API

  • And already there's a discussion on the matter: https://github.com/LibraryOfCongress/api.congress.gov/issues...

  • InfluxDB

  • utahcode

    Legal Code for the State of Utah

  • public-sans

    A strong, neutral, principles-driven, open source typeface for text or display

  • Seems like a miss that this is using google fonts instead of the font made by the govt https://public-sans.digital.gov/

  • ch-law-tracker

    Discontinued A Python script to track changes in Swiss Federal Law over time through Git.

  • RFIA-bill

  • There was a bill that got published on Github a few months back: https://github.com/responsible-financial-innovation-act22/RF...

    Not sure if any suggested changes got incorporated or even addressed, but it's a really interesting concept

  • the-constitution-of-india

    The Constitution of India, with each amendment as a commit.

  • > if we could get this for every state and county legislature

    Not an official source but someone took the pain of creating a GitHub repo of Indian constitution with amendments as commits[1]. Here's one commit[2] for example that's about modifying some affirmative action details.

  • gesetze

    Bundesgesetze und -verordnungen

  • I've thought about this (as an outsider who doesn't know anything) and wondered if plain old git would do the job. I've heard Germany already does this, but when I looked at https://github.com/bundestag/gesetze it didn't look like this was representative of what I would assume to be the full extent of German legislation.

    In theory, you probably wouldn't find lobbyists contributing directly, but you could find representatives and then link them to lobbyists they've associated with.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
