About US Congress VoteFacts.com

A nonpartisan journalistic website, US Congress VoteFacts.com is published to help civically engaged individuals track voting records and key issues on Capitol Hill and use the reporting to hold their federal lawmakers accountable on a regular basis but especially on Election Day.

Thomas Voting Reports, Inc., the parent organization, was the longest-running independent news service in Washington between July 1973 and June 2021, serving more than 700 print and digital news outlets over five decades. Our subscriber base included the Washington Post, New York Times Regional Newspapers, Cox Newspapers, Ottaway Newspapers, Philadelphia Inquirer, Richmond Times Dispatch, Seattle Times, Houston Chronicle, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and numerous other publications based in 50 states and Puerto Rico.

We restored the news service in 2026 to cover a vital part of the Jeffrey Epstein story that was going unreported — the growing number of winning votes in the 119th Congress aimed at bringing rich and powerful men who were Epstein’s co-predators to accountability in the legal system and the court of public opinion, and to deliver long-delayed justice to the young women and girls whom they trafficked in large numbers.

Fueled by victims’ calls for action in televised visits to Capitol Hill, the burst of voting activity resulted in the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act becoming law in November 2025. The legislative push also set the stage for future congressional battles to compel the Trump administration to fully release The Epstein Files, as required by the new law, and to start bringing charges based on potential evidence of sex crimes visible in the files or blacked-out by excessive Department of Justice redactions.
