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.

Winters was a delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Wyoming.[7]
In Wyoming’s county conventions and state convention in 2016, Ted Cruz won 23 delegates, while Marco Rubio and Donald Trump won one delegate each. Four Wyoming delegates attended the national convention as uncommitted delegates. Ballotpedia was not able to identify which candidate Winters was bound by state party rules to support at the national convention or if Winters was one of Wyoming's four uncommitted delegates. If you have information on how Wyoming’s Republican delegates were allocated, please email editor@ballotpedia.org.[8]
Delegate rules
Delegates from Wyoming to the 2016 Republican National Convention were elected at county conventions in March 2016 and a state convention in April 2016. Delegates elected at the state convention were self-nominated or nominated by a Nominating/Elections Committee. Delegate candidates, prior to their election, were required to indicate if they supported a specific presidential candidate or were uncommitted.

Delegate allocation
Wyoming had 29 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention: 23 at-large delegates, three congressional district delegates, and three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates). Wyoming's RNC delegates were not bound to support the winner of the state's caucuses. All other delegates were bound to support the preferred presidential candidates listed on their intent-to-run forms unless they were elected as an uncommitted delegate. Wyoming did not use a presidential preference poll to allocate and bind delegates in 2016.

- ↑ To build our list of the state and territorial delegations to the 2016 Republican National Convention, Ballotpedia relied primarily upon official lists provided by state and territorial Republican parties; email exchanges and phone interviews with state party officials; official lists provided by state governments; and, in some cases, unofficial lists compiled by local media outlets. When possible, we included what type of delegate the delegate is (at-large, district-level, or RNC) and which candidate they were bound by state and national party bylaws to support at the convention. For most delegations, Ballotpedia was able to track down all of this information. For delegations where we were not able to track down this information or were only able to track down partial lists, we included this note. If you have additional information on this state's delegation, please email editor@ballotpedia.org.
