Independent Legislative Assessment by ArmorVine

Our Methodology

Armorvine's scorecard attempts to create the most non-biased assessment possible. The scorecard on a separate sheet gives a summary on why we are supportive or opposed to the legislation. If the bill has good parts but also has bad parts, it gets scored negatively. This is because bills are meant to be single-subject to stand on their own, and potentially bad parts are what led to tyranny during times like COVID. They used the words for our health, safety, and welfare to mask our kids, shut down our businesses, and kill our loved ones as they suffered alone in hospitals/nursing homes.

While other organizations cherry pick legislation only choosing a couple bills they care about we look at each one to uncover if they will impact our freedom and liberties. In some instances, we might see a lot of good but a minor infringement that could occur so we rate in neutral. Other neutral bills we see as window dressing to make a legislator look good but does little to nothing. Still more neutral bills we just see it as cleanup or common sense neutral bills.

There are several versions based upon the reasoning that some critics might only want to base it on a bill and others might want to look at absences, etc. This gives you the reader an opportunity to take all the arguments of the table and focus on the policy.

Based on our assessment you may or may not agree that a bill is harmful or beneficial. Armorvine encourages the dialogue and debate. The more educated the citizens of Missouri become on the issues before us, the greater the chance to keep this state thriving and free.

We rated all bills except the appropriation bills that appropriate our funds. Our budget has been on a runaway train for quite some time and it would be quite simple for the residents of Missouri to simply look at who voted for those and who did not to make up their own minds who is doing a good job based upon spending our money.

We will instead look at 42 of the 53 of the legislative bills passed this session. The remaining 11 bills we rated neutral. Each bill is given 10 points if the legislator voted correctly and 0 if they voted incorrectly. They are given 5 points if they were absent on one calculation and 0 on another. The utility bill SB4 was particularly destructive to the people of MO whether Republican or Democrat so anyone that voted for that got an extra five points deducted from their score or an extra 5 points if they voted against it. This gives the scorecard a potential of 415 points possible. There are arguments about legitimate absences or not having excuses for absences. Giving both assessments allows you to determine which way would score the legislator. Lastly, some assessments have what we call Bonus Points or Deductions. These are times when a legislator goes above and beyond in a good way or a bad way. A good way might be filibustering a bill that would increase our utility bills and a bad way might be verbalizing on the senate floor support for something unconstitutional. Unfortunately, even our very best State Senator has only scored a 76% and goes down drastically from there. Missouri might have conservative legislators at heart but the votes don’t seem to match the noble intentions. We must do better and you must hold your legislator’s feet to the fire to achieve different results.

We pray this educates you. We pray that God would shine His Face on you, bless you and give you discernment. May the great state of Missouri be blessed by Jesus and reflect His ways.
