Democracy Index:  A state's average ranking in key categories: average margin of victory (measuring overall competitiveness), landslide index (measuring number of somewhat competitive races), seats-to-votes distortion (measuring how well the intent of voters was reflected by results) and representation index (weighted double, as it measures both voter participation and the percentage of effective votes that elect someone).
