Terms of Service
Last Updated: December 2025
Entity and Brand Separation
The domain name "WhoBoughtMyVote.com" constitutes a rhetorical question and protected political expression—not a factual assertion by the Company. Civic Insight Systems LLC is a neutral data publisher and analysis platform. The Company does not adopt, endorse, or assert as fact any implications that may be drawn from the domain name or brand identity. All factual claims published on this site originate from authoritative public records, which are cited and sourced.
No Allegation of Illegal Conduct
This site does not allege bribery, vote-buying, or any criminal offense unless explicitly stated with reference to an official adjudication, indictment, or regulatory finding.
The presentation of campaign contributions alongside voting records or official actions does not, by itself, assert a quid pro quo or illegal exchange. Correlation does not imply causation. Readers are encouraged to review the cited public records and draw their own conclusions.
Where we present analysis connecting donations to actions, such analysis is clearly labeled and based on publicly available timing, amounts, and documented relationships—not on assertions of intent, motive, or illegality.
