The color code shows “FReeper endorsed candidate.” How did they get that endorsement? Was there a vote among voters in a given state, or did JimRob endorse, or did a FReeper in good standing (an individual) endorse the candidate? I just haven’t seen any information on FR endorsing anyone.
You are correct. FR is not endorsing anyone.
These designations were simply used to indicate that someone on FR had declared a strong preference for a candidate based on qualifications, views on the issues and ability to win in November. So it was a useful tag to use as we developed the list and ranked the candidates. That effort is now complete and we have our initial rankings. So we will remove the "Freeper Endorsed" designation in the next update.
