Anthropic integrates Democracy Works voting data and live results into Claude ahead of US midterms
Anthropic says it analyzed 250,000 Claude conversations to inform election safeguards and will, starting later this month, draw official state-level voting information from Democracy Works into Claude.ai and display up-to-date election-night results. The company also reports that Claude Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 score 99% on its political even‑handedness test and shared results of three independent reviews that identified areas for improvement.
