Political Scorecards
Political scorecards boil down Congressional voting records to a single, specific rating or grade. Most scorecards rate elected officials based on level of support or opposition to a particular policy issue. Others, such as the Lugar Center, rate elected officials based on their level of partisanship or reaching across the aisle. Here is a partial list of scorecards. Please email publisher@ctmirror.org if you would like to suggest one or more others.
