Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Pennsylvania

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.

Noteworthy events

In 2009, the issue of gay marriage arose in a debate with another state senator. Eichelberger said the government "allows" same-sex couples "to exist." Shortly afterward, 30 people representing multiple gender-based groups made their way to Eichelberger's office expecting an apology.

At the time, Eichelberger was sponsoring a constitutional amendment to define marriage as only between a man and a woman. According to Eichelberger, when asked for an apology: "I think you know my answer to that."[7]
