Ballotpedia defines scorecards as records produced by newspapers, interest groups, think tanks, partisan groups, 501(c)(3)s, and 501(c)(4)s that provide relative rankings and cover all state or federal lawmakers. Some scorecards are created with a focus on specific issues, while others are broad in scope.

Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state’s legislative term, each report should be considered on its own merits. The entities that publish these reports may use different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.

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.

If you are aware of a scorecard Ballotpedia has not included, please email it to editor@ballotpedia.org.
