A public ledger of red‑boxing — campaign‑site signals to super PACs

Campaign Finance Red-Boxing The Candidate Index

Super PAC instructions, posted in plain sight.

Every funded federal campaign’s website, read for their signals to outside money, archived before they can disappear.

Approved findings + dated negatives ■ 1,040 candidates in the universe ■ Every claim links to archived evidence

Red-boxing is publicly posted messaging or media-buy guidance whose function is to direct an outside group — a super PAC — on what advertising to run: for whom, where, when, and with what message, without a private conversation. Federal rules bar private coordination, so posting the guidance publicly is lawful, and the practice exploits that opening openly. It is not per se unlawful.

Detections are gated behind human review before any are treated as findings.
