A civic tool for Florida. Enter your county, get two things you can actually do this week:
- Become a poll worker — eligibility, training, pay, and how to apply in your county.
- File a public records request — a correctly-formed Chapter 119 request, drafted from what you want to know.
Version 1 covers Florida only, and says so. Records law, poll-worker eligibility, and deadlines are state- and county-specific; a national v1 would be either vague or confidently wrong.
Florida's transparency law is unusually strong and its voter-registration law is unusually restrictive. So this leads with transparency, which is both more available and more genuinely cross-partisan here. Poll working is the anchor action: counties are chronically short-staffed, both parties need workers, it's paid, and the ask is bounded.
- Cross-partisan by architecture. Actions are weighted toward work with genuine support across parties — election staffing, transparency, anti-corruption — and away from candidate- or party-specific asks.
- Every claim links to a primary source. The tool summarizes and never editorializes. Statutes and county pages are cited so the user can always check.
The citizen supplies the substance; the AI supplies structure, facts, and clarity. Never the reverse.
This is not a style preference. Mass AI-generated civic correspondence is itself a hack — it exploits the rule that officials treat contact volume as evidence of constituent opinion, by manufacturing volume without the constituency. A project named for unhacking cannot ship the exploit it exists to oppose.
Concretely:
- Refuse to generate positions. The tool asks what you want to know or say, and won't proceed until you answer.
- Draft, never send. You transmit, having read it.
- No artificial variation. Output is never randomized to evade form-letter detection.
- Retrieval-grounded on anything factual. Statutes and county details come from fetched sources, not model memory. A misstated deadline embarrasses the user and ends the project's credibility.
- Jurisdiction-aware or silent. Florida and its 67 counties only; outside that, the tool declines rather than guesses.
