Corrections

A Safe Out is a permanent public record, so it has to be right. When we find an error, we fix it and list it here with the date, what was wrong, and what the record says now. A corrected record keeps its address and its ID, so earlier links and citations still work.

If you find an error, write to asafeout@protonmail.com with the page and a source.

November 1, 2026: dates of death for 14 children

We compared each child's recorded date of death with the date given in their own story and its sources. Fourteen did not match. Most were placeholder dates, such as the first day of a month, entered when the records were first built. Each now matches the sources.

Checked and unchanged: 14 records whose recorded dates already matched their sources. Three children's sources give only a month or no exact date (Judy Ashour, Lareen Al-Haddad, Heba Assaf), so their records were left as they were.

November 9, 2026: politician names and records

We checked every politician in the record against the official list of current members of Congress.

• Twelve members were shown with another member's first name. Their votes were correct. Corrected: Barry Moore (R-AL), Blake Moore (R-UT), and Riley Moore (R-WV), previously shown as "Gwen Moore"; Bennie Thompson (D-MS), previously "Glenn Thompson"; Frederica Wilson (D-FL), previously "Joe Wilson"; Adrian Smith (R-NE), previously "Adam Smith"; Andy Biggs (R-AZ), previously "Sheri Biggs"; Buddy Carter (R-GA), previously "John Carter"; Dan Goldman (D-NY), previously "Craig Goldman"; Jonathan Jackson (D-IL), previously "Ronny Jackson"; Dusty Johnson (R-SD), previously "Julie Johnson"; and Dave Joyce (R-OH), previously "John Joyce."
• Members who share a last name could open the wrong record. Searching for or clicking one of them opened the first member with that name. Each now opens their own record.
• Donor records for 179 members, including every senator, were not being displayed. They now appear on each member's page.
• The twelve corrected members also had record IDs built from the wrong name (for example, Barry Moore's was gwen-moore-al). Their IDs now match their names (barry-moore-al). The old IDs and addresses still work and lead to the corrected record, and each record lists its old ID.
• Two members who had died were still listed as sitting members: Representative David Scott (D-GA), who died April 22, 2026, and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who died July 11, 2026. Their records now show the date. Senate roll calls list the South Carolina seat as "Graham (R-SC)" for whoever holds it. Six votes cast after his death by the senator appointed to the seat, Darline Graham Nordone, had been recorded under his name, and 21 of his own earlier votes were missing. Both records were rebuilt from the official Senate roll calls: he now has 32 recorded votes (he did not vote on one), and she has her own record.
