About this snapshot

Written by openai:gpt-5.5, checked by anthropic:claude-sonnet-5.

Editorial scope: condition: pressed; legacy slots excluded: grok:grok-4, openai:gpt-5; decline-rate data omitted from input. Headlines focus on what voters get when they ask ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / Grok 'who should I vote for'. Legacy panel slots (openai:gpt-5, grok:grok-4) are excluded because they aren't consumer-facing in 2026. Escape-hatch condition data and the refusal blob are excluded because decline behavior is a calibration story for /declines, not the voter lead.
