Calls
A clear endorsement names a fictional candidate when the record and the odds both support it. A toss-up is the honest call when they do not. Every card has a reason. Where editors depart from the formula, the card says so.

No candidate endorsed
Formula: Toss-up — The lead sits inside the toss-up gap. Leading score: Camille Ortiz.
Ortiz and Hale would both end convictionless forfeiture and the home-work misdemeanor. Ortiz is more winnable. The score prefers her by less than the toss-up gap. Naming a favorite would invent a difference the records do not support. Editors call it a toss-up and mean it. Both are fictional.
2026 judicial elections
Endorse Joanna Frey
Formula: Endorse Joanna Frey
Frey's winnability is a 2, the floor of what this coalition will endorse. She is not favored. She is also the only slate with a record, and the record is a full commitment to the warrant rule.

2026 gubernatorial election
No candidate endorsed
Formula: Toss-up — The better-aligned candidate is below the winnability floor. Leading score: Leona Markov.
Markov has the liberty record. Her winnability is a 1. The coalition does not endorse a candidate with no path, because an endorsement is a claim about a vote that can change the penalty. Harlow is worse on the issues and is not endorsed either. The call is a toss-up, and the residual moves are the ones in the essay on spending and plaintiff groups: fund the licensing case, and do not pretend a protest vote repealed the order. Both names are fictional.

The governor's race is a toss-up because the better candidate cannot win. This one is not. Bell is favored, and the legislature writes both penalties. Editors endorse Bell. The contrast with the governor's race is intentional. She is fictional.
2026 attorney general election
No candidate endorsed
Formula: Toss-up — The better-aligned candidate is below the winnability floor. Leading score: Seth Marlow.
Same pattern as the governor's race, in a smaller office. Marlow's alignment is right and his winnability is 1. No endorsement. A plaintiff group can still challenge the felony. Marlow cannot, from this ballot. Fictional.
2026 judicial elections
No candidate endorsed
Formula: Toss-up — No candidate would reduce the harm. Leading score: Daphne Cho.
Both scores are zero. A zero is not a lean toward reform. Editors mark a toss-up because no candidate would reduce the harm, not because the race is close. The issue stays on the card. The ballot does not answer it. Fictional slates.

2026 legislative elections
Endorse Lydia Crowe
Formula: Endorse Lydia Crowe
Both slates are better than an enforcement slate, and they are not the same. Crowe would require a conviction. Benton would only narrow the practice.

2026 attorney general election
Endorse Mina Kapoor
Formula: Endorse Mina Kapoor
Kapoor's winnability is a 2, which is the minimum the formula will endorse. Drewe is more likely to win and would keep defending convictionless forfeiture.
