  I have no votes in Congress to count for Pan, and what Pan has said and done settles only 2 of my principles. I went through it on October 30. A grade needs 4.

  Every vote behind this grade

Voting in California: how to register, vote early or vote by mail. Election Day was November 3.

Side by side

A solid letter is a grade from recorded votes on that principle. An outlined letter is on the same scale, for a candidate with no votes: it comes from what that candidate has said and done, and every source is listed below.

Richard Pan, on the record

I have no votes in Congress to count for Pan, so the grade above comes from this list: what Pan has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
