VoteHub is an American political forecasting website that was founded in 2024 by Garrett Herrin and Luke Wines. The website predicts Senate, House, and governor races at a precinct level scale.

History

[edit]

VoteHub was co-founded in 2024 by Garrett Herrin and Luke Wines. When developing the website, their stated goal was to provide innovative coverage of elections, polling aggregation, and analysis of American politics.[1] VoteHub's webiste indicates it has expanded their operation and ventures since 2024, including incorporating a tracker that identifies notable endorsement in the House of Representatives races and a model for the most prominent races of the 2026 midterm cycle.[2]

Election predictions

[edit]

One of VoteHub's projects is the aforementioned elections model. Their model for House, Senate, and gubernatorial elections is quantitative, based upon data and analytics for the midterms.[3] VoteHub hosts two dueling predictions: a "legacy" forecast and a "complete" forecast. VoteHub's model uses finance information, pollin and political leaning of candidates in their quantitative predictions as part of the "legacy" forecast.[4][3] The "complete" forecast combines the contents of the "legacy" forecast with qualitative forecasting predictions from Sabato's Crystal Ball, Inside Elections, and The Cook Political Report, as well as betting market odds from Kalshi.[5] VoteHub believes its "complete" forecast provides better accuracy, but may contribute to a feedback loop because the "complete" forecast incorporates data from betting markets, while in turn the betting markets may be affected by VoteHub's forecast data. VoteHub's "legacy" forecast is intended to contrast with the "complete" forecast to identify the effects of any feedback loop.[4]

VoteHub's forecasting includes county and precinct level predictions and its polling aggregation uses strictly non-partisan data. It excludes internal polling data released by partisan sponsors, unlike other polling aggregates.[6]

Election analysis

[edit]

The website also provides political analysis on American elections and other events. VoteHub has analyzed such events as the U.S. Supreme Court's votng rights decisions.[7] VoteHub analyzed he effects of the SCOTUS decision in Louisiana vs. Callais, detailing how that decision has boosted Black voter participation in primaries before the 2026 election.[8][9] VoteHub also released an analysis of the political partisanship of athletes involved in major American sports, analyzing which sports players are more conservative or liberal.[10]

VoteHub dissects early voting trend data for specific races to use in its commentary regarding future election results.[11] They have gained notoriety from dissecting the Texas Senate Primaries, as well as the LA mayor primary.[12][13][14]

The betting market website Kalshi uses polling averages from VoteHub's election analysies and displays them on their website.[5] In 2024, political analyst Nate Silver praised VoteHub's use of "high-quality polls" on their presidential polling aggregations.[15] Colleges and universities, including Claremont McKenna College, have also incorporated VoteHub's analysis information in their studies.[16]

The VoteHub website has officially partnered with Harvard and John Hopkins University, working together to give opportunities to students at both schools.[17][18]
