Dem Lawmakers Vote For Leftism In Lockstep, While Republicans Routinely Abandon Conservatism, Analysis Finds

 Democrat state lawmakers are more unified and committed to a leftist ideology than Republican lawmakers are to conservatism, according to a report from the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Republicans voted for conservative policies 77% of the time, while Democrats voted for liberal policies 87% of the time, according to the analysis of all 7,400 lawmakers in the 50 statehouses during last year's legislative sessions.

"Republicans run on conservative promises, but after they win more of them abandon the tough votes on key conservative policies when compared to Democrats whose first rule is to stick together," the group said.

"Our analysis shows how moderate Republicans broke apart on key issues like parental choice in education, securing strong voter ID, or putting a stop to COVID mandates."

As a group, Mississippi Republican lawmakers had an average conservative score of 58%, making them less conservative than Republicans in New Jersey, Maryland, and Oregon.

The state where Republicans voted most conservative was a swing state: Wisconsin.

Those Florida Republicans take full advantage of the majority they do have, with a conservative score of 89%. Looking at state lawmakers regardless of party, West Virginia was rated the most conservative in the country.
