Noteworthy events
2010 burglary
On October 21, 2012, the News & Observer ran a story regarding a police report wherein Debra Goldman, the 2012 Republican candidate for North Carolina Auditor, named Malone, who she served with on the Wake County school board, as a suspect in the burglary of her home in 2010. The source of the police report was unknown and Republican officials questioned the timing of its release so close to the November 6 general election.[1]
According to the report, in June 2010 Goldman called police saying her home was broken into, and $100,000 in jewelry, $20,000 in cash and $10,000 in collectible coins was stolen. Goldman said she kept the cash in a "ratty pink backpack" in her bedroom because "she found it very difficult" to get money right after the terrorist attacks of September 11.[2]
Goldman named Malone, who was later cleared, as a suspect in subsequent interviews. According to Goldman, she resisted romantic advances by Malone for several months, while Malone has said they had a "very heated" relationship.[1]
After the news story broke, Goldman issued a statement, saying, “I am continuing my campaign for state auditor, and I am saddened that I have to even dignify these reports with a response. This is all I will say regarding this issue, and I consider the matter closed.”[2]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
