Endorsements and toss-ups
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.

New Hampshire · Legislature
2026 legislative elections
No candidate endorsed
Formula: Endorse Adele Voss
The formula endorses Adele Voss. Editors are marking a toss-up anyway. A legislative slate is not a candidate a voter can install as a majority. Voss's winnability is a 2: a voter can change a seat and still not change the forfeiture statute or the mental-state rule. Naming her would pretend a precision this ballot does not have. The companion move is the one in the essay on economic and plaintiff work — fund the forfeiture case and the mens rea brief directly. Voss and Brice are fictional.

New Hampshire · Governor
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.

Toss-upPlaceholder
New Hampshire · Judiciary
2026 judicial elections
No candidate endorsed
Formula: Toss-up — The lead sits inside the toss-up gap. Leading score: Naomi Feld.
Feld and Quill have the same winnability and the same one-step record on warrants. The scores tie. A named endorsement would be the editors choosing a personality. They will not. The issue remains serious — the judicial office is the one that can move it — and the honest call is that this ballot does not tell a voter which slate will. Both are fictional.

New Hampshire · Attorney general
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.
