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.

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.

Solano is favored and would end the order. Palmer would not. Clear call. Fictional.
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. The gap clears the toss-up rule at equal winnability. Editors endorse Crowe and publish Benton's lean so nobody thinks the other slate is the enemy. Fictional.
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. Editors endorse Kapoor because the alternative is an active defense of the penalty, and they tell the reader this is an outside chance. Below a 2 they would have called a toss-up instead. She is fictional.
2026 attorney general election

2026 gubernatorial election
Endorse Mara Ellison
Formula: Endorse Mara Ellison
Ellison is the clearer vote on both issues this office actually touches. She would end the emergency order and stop the growth of licenses for harmless work. Peck would keep both. Her winnability is a 4, the score gap is wide, and the formula and the editors agree. She is a fictional placeholder. The call illustrates a clear endorsement, not a real election.
2026 attorney general election
Endorse Ruth Okonkwo
Formula: Endorse Ruth Okonkwo
Okonkwo would take the state's name off felony appeals that punish peaceable possession. Brenner would add to them. The office does not write the statute — county attorneys still file — but appeal posture is real power, and the gap is not close. Winnability is a 3, which clears the floor. Both names are fictional placeholders.

2026 gubernatorial election
Endorse Harlow Singh
Formula: Endorse Harlow Singh
Singh is not a maximal reformer on the emergency order — the alignment is a one, not a two — and Holm is more likely to win. The forfeiture difference is large, the weighted scores still separate cleanly, and winnability of 3 clears the floor. Editors endorse Singh and say out loud that the emergency half of the record is only a lean. Both candidates are fictional.
2026 attorney general election
Endorse Ida Pell
Formula: Endorse Ida Pell
If the attorney general owns the forfeiture docket, Pell is the strategic vote: favored, and committed to stopping convictionless filings. Abern would expand them. The model is a placeholder — real attorney general powers vary — and the call is only as good as that premise. Pell is not a real candidate.
2026 legislative elections
Endorse Esther Cho
Formula: Endorse Esther Cho
Cho is favored and is on the right side of both statutes this office writes. Kerr would add license crimes. Unlike the New Hampshire legislative toss-up, winnability here is a 4, so the 'one seat is not a majority' caution does not erase the call. It does limit it: an endorsement of a slate is not a promise the bill will pass. Cho is fictional.
2026 judicial elections
Endorse June Pellham
Formula: Endorse June Pellham
The formula endorses Pellham because Geddes has no record and Pellham has a one-step lean, at equal winnability. Editors agree, and they say the agreement is only as strong as that one step. This is not a mandate. It is a refusal to treat a blank slate and a mildly better slate as the same choice. Both are fictional.
