Voting Record

In the spirit of transparency, I have noted some insights derived from my historical voting records.

Updated 07/23/2026. 117 rounds* from 2024–2026.

AFF · 52 (44.4%)NEG · 65 (55.6%)

By year

202456.5% NEG · n=46

202555.6% NEG · n=45

202653.8% NEG · n=26

I would assume such a bias reflects the negative's structural and strategic ground far more than any presumption default on my end. Still, the lean is slightly improving for the AFF, going ~57% to ~54% over the course of two seasons.

However, the data are not uniform across settings (80% NEG at the TOC, 60% AFF at the Cavalier Invitational) implying that topic and tournament type may be important variables to consider. This also may be amplified by fewer AFF teams reading arguments for sheer strategic benefit compared to NEG ones. Per this, maybe AFF teams will feel more confortable venturing out of their comfort zone by maximizing offense in front of me.

By event

LD55.6% NEG · n=108

Policy55.6% NEG · n=9

Data across Policy and LD seem quite similar, though it is worth flagging that the sample size for Policy is tiny.
