Republican primary election

In August 2016, a federal district court ruled that 28 districts—nine Senate and 19 House—constituted an illegal racial gerrymander and ordered special elections to be held in the newly redrawn districts in 2017.^[1] After the ruling was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, the court issued a ruling affirming the decision of the district court. The district court ruled in July 2017 that special elections would not be held with the new maps prior to the 2018 general election. The Legislature adopted new district maps in August 2017. On October 26, 2017, the district court appointed an individual, known as a special master, "to assist the Court in further evaluating and, if necessary, redrawing" the revised district maps. On January 19, 2018, the district court issued an order adopting the special master's recommendations. On February 6, 2018, the Supreme Court issued a partial stay against the district court's order. In some instances, this led primary races featuring multiple incumbents running in the same race. For more information, please click here.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in North Carolina

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.
