HEADLINES WITH ATTRIBUTION — display links only; no forecast weight

Source · curated RSS, 75 outlets (news_outlets.json) — a hand-curated whitelist of state and national outlets, not an open crawl. Matching is conservative: a story attaches to a race only on a name/keyword entity match, so some relevant coverage will be missed rather than mis-filed.

Feed health · partial coverage73 of 75 whitelisted outlets returned a successful fetch in the latest sweep (97% coverage); 2 failed and are carrying nothing new. The roster above counts outlets with stories in this edition, which includes ones carried over from an earlier sweep.
