Reeves-Vogel lawsuit[edit]
Click here for more information on the Reeves-Vogel lawsuit
In September and October 2016, a series of emails signed "Martha McDaniel" were sent to local Republican Party officials and supporters of Vogel's fellow state senator and rival in the Republican lieutenant gubernatorial primary, Bryce Reeves. The emails accused Reeves of being involved in an extramarital affair with an unnamed staffer. On January 1, 2017, Reeves produced forensic evidence which he claimed tied the emails to Vogel. Vogel alleged that her family's devices were hacked and denied any involvement with the McDaniel emails. The final development in the case before the June 13, 2017, primary election was a hearing on June 9, 2017, in Stafford County Circuit Court. The judge in that hearing denied Reeves' request for subpoenas against the Vogels, their neighbors, and two activists Reeves alleged may have knowledge of the emails' source.[6][7]

Scorecards[edit]
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
