What this measures

Does this candidate support verifiable elections grounded in citizen accountability, free from machine manipulation, mass mail-in, or foreign interference?

Why it matters

If you cannot trust the count, nothing else on this scorecard matters. Christian consent of the governed (Romans 13:1 properly understood) requires elections that the people can verify with their own eyes. Hand-counted paper ballots, photo voter ID, single-day in-person voting — these are not partisan positions, they are the engineering specifications for a government that claims its authority from God through the consent of the governed. Mass mail-in voting, electronic tabulation no citizen can audit, private election funding from Mark Zuckerberg, ballot harvesting — these break the chain. This is why Election Integrity sits in the God First tier rather than as a sub-bullet of America First.

Furthermore, you shall select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens.

— Exodus 18:21

The 5 scored questions

Each question is binary (True / False / null). True earns +2 points. Null is "not yet verified from primary sources" — neither penalized nor credited. Use the toggle below to see the wording for federal, state, or local officials — the moral spirit is identical across tiers; what changes is the chair making the call.
