  • same_source_inconsistency SCORE 30
    [auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Stansbury campaigns as a champion of women and children — she is endorsed by EMILY's List and Planned Parenthood and fights for reproductive rights — yet voted against a bill named the 'Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act' that would mandate deportation for non-citizens convicted of sex crimes and domestic violence. The New Mexico GOP repeatedly attacked her for this vote, claiming she 'voted to protect illegal immigrants who commit crimes.' Stansbury did not issue a press release explaining her vote, leaving her position on this specific legislation ambiguous.
  • same_source_inconsistency SCORE 30
    [auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Stansbury simultaneously receives JStreetPAC funding (a pro-Israel PAC that supports military aid) while signing letters to withhold military aid to Israel and calling for a ceasefire. This dual posture — pro-Israel, pro-peace — is internally consistent with JStreet's platform but creates cross-pressure between maintaining a pro-Israel voting record and responding to progressive constituent demands for conditioning or cutting off military aid. She navigated this by calling for 'bilateral ceasefire' early (January 2024) while continuing to support Israel's right to self-defense.

What this scorecard does and doesn't claim

Every figure above is a count of records the platform already holds, each click-through-able to its source. The scorecard adds no inference, no forecast, and no narrative — it aggregates what is documented.

A populated scorecard is not a finding of corruption. It documents the volume of stated-vs-revealed tension, donor-adjacent silence, and broken commitments on the public record for this official. Silence in particular is the absence of an expected statement; it can have innocent explanations and is never presented as proof. Read each item's source before drawing conclusions.
