Previous RINO Reports mentioned some of the good guys who are in primaries with RINOs. This report mentions more of the good guys who are in primaries.
Ratings are based on candidates’ RINO scores (good is low) and also on HRA (House Republican Alliance) scores (good is high).
RINO scores are a calculation looking at every single vote. Votes where (a majority of) Republicans and (a majority of) Democrats vote the same are ignored. When a Republican votes with the Democrats against Republicans, that is a RINO vote. The RINO score is simply the percentage of RINO votes of scored votes.
We want to thank Spec Bowers for this Press Release. Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
The HRA scores are calculated from recommendations that are based on the Constitution and the Republican platform. See NHHRA.org.
