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.

Texas U.S. Senate Race 2026
Texas Senate markets moved toward Talarico on Election Day while chatbots stayed closely split
Texas voters asking chatbots about the U.S. Senate race got a close call, with chatbots picking Democrat James Talarico 46.4 percent of the time and Ken Paxton (R) 42.1 percent. Betting markets moved 3.0 points toward Talarico and now give him a 74.5 percent chance to win. Polls put Talarico at 49.6 percent of the vote and Paxton at 45.5 percent. Grok 4.5, one of Grok's models, favors Paxton by 30.0 points.

Michigan U.S. Senate Race 2026
Michigan Senate markets move toward Rogers while chatbots are nearly split
Betting markets moved toward Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan's U.S. Senate race, giving him a 24.5 percent chance to win, up 2.5 points from Monday. Chatbots are nearly split, picking Democrat Abdul El-Sayed 49.0 percent of the time and Rogers 48.1 percent. Markets still favor El-Sayed at 75.5 percent, and recent polls put him at 51.5 percent of the vote.

Ohio U.S. Senate Special Election 2026
Ohio Senate markets moved further toward Sherrod Brown while chatbots were cooler on him
Ohio voters asking chatbots about the special U.S. Senate race get Democrat Sherrod Brown as the top pick 51.1 percent of the time, but betting markets now give him a 72.5 percent chance to win after moving 3 points toward him. Polls put Brown at 49 percent of the vote, ahead of incumbent Republican Jon Husted at 44.3 percent.

Alaska State Senate District O Race 2026
A finding was written for this race and its wording was disputed
“Alaska District O Senate race held with chatbots favoring Rauscher” (the wording our summarizing model proposed)
Our checking model objected to how our summarizing model worded a finding about this race. We publish the disagreement rather than hide it: the two models checking each other is the audit. The objection: The quiet signal calls for a single sentence stating nothing moved plus the standing picture, but this body appends a model-outlier claim naming openai:gpt-5.5 as ChatGPT, a slot absent from today's active_slots and pooled_by_race data (today's active ChatGPT models are gpt-5.6-luna and gpt-6-sol). This both overstates a quiet day as containing a notable split and cites a chatbot model not in the current consumer panel. Also, party label (R) is written in parenthetical style using a banned punctuation mark, parentheses.
