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.
North Carolina’s primary (March 3) and runoff (May 12) 2026 are over. This page is the November 3 general — no governor this midterm. A stamp is not a score. Numbers live on the card once research lands.

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 North Carolina cards.
Highest priority · faith & family policy
Second priority · U.S. Constitution & liberty
(formerly labeled “paleo-conservative” — same ideas, clearer name)
Third priority · Republican Party alignment
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.
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.
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.
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).
Candidate lists, scores, and notes are reviewed against public sources (Ballotpedia, campaign materials, county elections offices, and news reporting). Last content review: August 2026. Ballots can change — always confirm with your official sample ballot before voting.
ZIP lookup estimates your county so statewide races load. Your ZIP can cover more than one city or school district — confirm on your sample ballot. Official ballots are by full address. Confirm names at NCSBE and your county election office.
This demo ships U.S. Senate, Supreme Court, and Court of Appeals placeholders for every North Carolina ZIP (Census-primary map, 100 counties). Proposed launch metros for the next inventory wave: Mecklenburg, Wake, Guilford, Forsyth, Cumberland, Durham, Buncombe, Union, New Hanover, Gaston. No invented locals.
