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.

On June 17, 2024, state Rep. Mary Morrissey (R) admitted to pouring water on the personal belongings of Rep. Jim Carroll (D), who represents the same district as Morrissey.[11][12]
Morrissey apologized to Carroll during a state House session, saying “It was conduct most unbecoming of my position as a representative and as a human being, and is not reflective of my 28 years of service and civility.”[11]
Carroll had installed a camera to monitor his personal belongings after he kept finding his work bag soaking in water. Video footage shows Morrissey pouring water into Carroll's belongings.[13][11]
