How we score
Liberty Score turns the public voting record of each member of Congress into one letter. This page is the whole method, and the whole list of votes.
Last updated October 4, 2026. Votes counted through September 30, 2026.
What counts
- Recorded votes. Roll-call votes in the House and the Senate in the 117th, 118th and 119th Congress, which means January 2021 to today. We use votes on passing a bill, and clean votes on a single question. We leave out procedural votes and giant bills that mix many subjects.
- Signatures. For a few bills that never got a vote, sponsoring or cosponsoring the bill counts.
- Nothing else. Speeches, posts and interviews do not count. A member who talks one way and votes another gets the grade of the vote.
How a record becomes a letter
- For every vote on the list we say which side is the liberty side, and we give the reason. The list is below.
- Each time a member voted, the vote is either with liberty or against it. A missed vote or a vote of "present" is shown but not counted.
- Key votes count double. They are marked.
- On each measure, the score is the share of a member's counted actions that were with liberty, out of 100. A measure counts once the member has at least two actions on it.
- The total is the plain average of the member's measures. Every measure weighs the same, so twenty votes on the border do not drown out two votes on free speech.
- The total becomes a letter on the scale below. A member needs at least four measures before a letter is shown.
| Letter | Score |
|---|---|
| A | 93 and up |
| A- | 90 and up |
| B+ | 87 and up |
| B | 83 and up |
| B- | 80 and up |
| C+ | 77 and up |
| C | 73 and up |
| C- | 70 and up |
| D+ | 67 and up |
| D | 63 and up |
| D- | 60 and up |
| F | Below 60 |
The same test for everyone
One list of votes, one side marked on each, applied to every member of both parties. We do not adjust a grade for who the member is, what they say, or whether we like them. The six delegates who cannot vote on the House floor are listed without a grade.
Where the data comes from
