How about score them on how they really vote. "You say you're a democrat but our party detector test says that is a lie!" 83/17

That is a dangerous idea. Do you really want everything to be so black and white? Vote down the party lines or else?

No, I just want to see who says they are a hard R or D and really vote middle of the road. Perhaps the site could let me vote too to see where and or who I agree with best.
