Card E / contact

Send the desk a card

The form below reaches the desk. Use it for a correction, a rule citation we missed, a calendar change, or a document we should be reading. We do not publish an email address, and we do not take requests for coverage.

What helps

A correction moves fastest when it names the card, the sentence and the rule that settles it. A page number in the Senate manual or a link to the printed document is better than a description of the document.

  • The card name, for example "cloture on legislation".
  • The wording you think is wrong, quoted exactly.
  • The rule, clause or precedent that supports your version.
  • A date, if the practice changed and the card did not.

What we cannot do

We cannot confirm a vote count before the roll call is entered, and we do not share the desk's working notes. Requests to remove a card are answered with a correction instead, unless the card identifies a private person, in which case we will act on the request and say so.

Session days are checked twice.
Recess weeks are checked on Monday and Thursday.
