Pull up a chair. Here’s what we actually think.
Same honesty as the cards: we don’t invent winners, and a win doesn’t raise a number. Pick a state in the header for that state’s ZIP lookup and candidate list.
Alabama’s primary (May 19), runoff (June 16), and CD 1/2/6/7 special primary (Aug 11) 2026 are over. Withdrawal was Aug 24. This page is the November 3 general. A stamp is not a score. Numbers live on the card once research lands.

Your real ballot is by full address and precinct, not ZIP. Official starting points: Alabama Votes · Alabama Secretary of State · County election offices.
How scoring works
Same method in every live state. Higher weight means more influence on the 0–100 values score. The letter on a card is that total: 80–100 A · 60–79 B · 40–59 C · 20–39 D · 0–19 F. Callouts for Trump, Musk, and MAHA are badges, not extra points — so you can filter them without double-counting party loyalty. The DeSantis callout is Florida-only and does not appear on Alabama cards.
Christian score 45 pts
Highest priority · faith & family policy
- Explicit public faith in Jesus Christ (weighted heaviest)
- Campaign/public life that centers Christ, Scripture & church
- Pro-life / protection of the unborn
- Religious liberty & conscience rights
- Parental rights in education
- Traditional marriage & family policy
- Opposition to gender ideology in schools/sports
- Conduct: not quarrelsome; correct opponents with gentleness (2 Timothy 2:24–25). Destroy arguments against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5) — that is not a license to be mean. Opened mean campaigning is a slight dock (−1 to −3), never a zero
- Legislative votes help — but outspoken Christian identity beats quiet institutional conservatism
Constitution score 35 pts
Second priority · U.S. Constitution & liberty
(formerly labeled “paleo-conservative” — same ideas, clearer name)
- Limited federal government & local control
- Secure borders / immigration enforcement
- Skepticism of endless foreign wars
- Free enterprise; caution on globalist trade deals
- Reading the Constitution as written
- Protecting American culture & institutions from radical ideology
- Fiscal restraint / low taxes
- Health freedom / MAHA — live free of coercive government health & food policy; your family chooses
GOP score 20 pts
Third priority · Republican Party alignment
- Republican Party registration / nomination
- GOP platform & party organization alignment
- Conservative legislative voting record
- Support from mainstream Republican institutions
🦅 Trump callout
Shown when a candidate has a formal Trump endorsement, explicit MAGA / Trump-agenda campaigning, or a clear Trump-world alliance. Use the filter chip to show only these candidates. Does not add score points on its own.
🍊 DeSantis callout
Shown for candidates who preserve or advance Governor Ron DeSantis’s Florida agenda (parental rights, anti-DEI, free speech, free-state legislation) or who served as DeSantis-era partners. Badge only — does not add to the 100-point total. The DeSantis filter chip is on the Florida guide only.
🚀 Musk callout
Shown when a candidate is positive toward Elon Musk and/or his companies (Tesla, SpaceX, X free-speech ethos, DOGE-style efficiency). Trump-aligned alone is not enough (they have publicly clashed). Badge only — no automatic score points.
🥗 MAHA callout
Make America Healthy Again — clear MAHA Institute / MAHA Commission leadership, Stand for Health Freedom–style medical freedom, or campaign food-system integrity. Counts twice: 🥗 badge for filtering and raises the Constitution score (liberty from coercive health/food policy).
