There are a lot of assumptions in the change in green-ness from past elections:

  • If the winner of a race has more endorsements that the incumbent did (if the incumbent loses) in the last election, is the winner greener?
  • What if no candidates were endorsed in the last race? Is the incumbent less green?
  • Do we a assume zero endorsements for the incumbent in the last race means the previous challenger was the greener candidate?
  • What if the incumbent wins and has more endorsements than in the last election? Is that a change?
