Off-diagonal members
The following 2 members fall more than 2.5σ off the OLS fit of GGUM θ on W-NOMINATE dim-1. We flag these as diagnostic cases where the two scalings most disagree.

Placements worth a second look
GGUM’s placement of the following members differs from what their established political reputations might lead a reader to expect. We draw attention to these cases so that researchers can consider them before using the estimates for a particular analysis; we are not alleging error.
- DOLE. Dole is commonly viewed as a Senate Republican leader and institutional dealmaker. GGUM places him among the twenty most conservative senators in this Congress.
