I see your point but I think "belief in science" was already politicized by the other side before this happened.

I'd argue the point was to increase the visibility of science-grounded voters as a viable block and energize that block.
I'd go along with that as a possibility; I still think it's probably exclusionary and net bad for science

Also, both lexically and visibly, it might make it more difficult to say the science is out on science issues.

I'm just thinking out loud. My gut feeling is that visibility helps things, but I have no idea if there's a causal gain.
