Liberty voting index list

[jurgs01]

Alright, it is very hard to ensure people are doing their jobs for liberty, especially on the local level. Some states are better than others, but we should have a consolidated list of liberty voting indices to be able to quickly reference.

Here is a few off the top of my head:

Liberty:
National:

Yup. IMO, NH has by far the best system for this in the nation

Are there any more? It's sad that we don't have one for every state.

They shouldn't count missed votes as bad votes. I hate it when scorecards do that.

Yes. There is Cornerstone in NH for example. It's very socially conservative but also libertarian on economic issues. Since social issues don't have a lot of bills in NH, it's actually OK. There is also AFP in many states. But AFP doesn't make it easy to find the ratings year round.

They are also counting co-sponsorship (or lack there of) towards the score. From their site, "Votes are 95% of each legislator's total score and co-sponsorships are the remaining 5%."

I think both of those are fair. If you want to push liberty, push hard. Don't allow mealy mouths to get credit. If it's an important vote - BE THERE and sponsor it!
