Every answer that counted (3)
The question wording is Citizens Count’s. The “aligned answer” column is the answer a DSA-aligned candidate would give, taken from the plank named beside it. Anything Scott A. Burns wrote under an answer is quoted in full, unedited. On one question the sentence Scott A. Burns wrote under the box settles the answer differently from the box itself, and the score goes with what they wrote, not the box. Those rows show both, and say why.

Read, and deliberately not counted (1)
Scott A. Burns ticked "Other" or "Undecided" on these and wrote a sentence underneath that leans one way without settling it. Getting from what they wrote to a For or an Against takes a chain of reasoning, and a chain of reasoning is not a position somebody took. None of these are in the score. They are printed so the reader can check the line we drew, instead of taking on trust that one was drawn at all.
- "Education Freedom Account" programTicked Other, not counted
“This should not go to private schools. There needs to be accountability and limits.”
A no to the money going to private schools, then a call for limits, which implies the program continues. Leans Against. Not counted.
Left out of the score (7)
“Undecided”, “Other” and unanswered questions are excluded from the arithmetic, exactly as an absence is excluded on a roll call. None of these counted against Scott A. Burns.
