Research methodology

Evidence before inference.

Researchers look first for direct candidate answers, then official votes, campaign statements, and other reliable records. When the wording does not exactly match the question, the answer may be inferred through candidate records and affiliated-party material and is identified as such.

No totals or candidate scores are calculated. When no reliable position is found, the result remains Unknown. All answers and sources are reviewed for accuracy.
