Facts on the ground

-

If you want to understand what’s really going on in America right now with any number of thorny issues, a presidential debate — and most moments of a presidential campaign — might be the worst place to start.

Debates are notorious for being a place for candidates to misrepresent, spin, and flat-out lie to cast their records and their plans in the best possible light. And fact-checking, while valuable, doesn’t always give a complete picture.

As the presidential election gets underway in earnest, Vox’s Facts on the Ground project is here to help you understand the state of the country on some of the most contested policy areas, including the economy, crime, abortion and immigration. Amid the noise, our reporters are here to ground you with expertise and perspective.
