RULE 01
Every fact links to its source
Each vote sits next to a link to the Clerk of the House, Senate.gov, or the state record. Bill titles and summaries link to Congress.gov or the state legislature.
RULE 02
Plain verbs only
“Voted Yes”, “Voted No”, “Did not vote”. Never “blocked”, “killed” or “defended”. The words describe the roll call, not a motive.
RULE 03
Flags follow published rules

RULE 04
Identical treatment
Every member gets the same layout, the same wording and the same figures. Party is a small label, never a color.
RULE 05
Official words first
Bill titles and summaries are the official ones (Congressional Research Service for federal bills; the state’s bill description for state bills). Nothing on this site is written by AI.
RULE 06
Your address isn’t stored
The address goes once to the U.S. Census Bureau’s geocoder to find your districts. This site keeps no address, no voter file, and no record of who looked up whom.
RULE 07
What the numbers mean
Votes attended: share of recorded floor votes where they voted Yes, No or Present. Voted with party majority: of their Yes/No votes, the share that matched how most of their own party voted. Ties, Present votes and independents are not counted.
RULE 08
Which votes are shown first
By default you see passage votes, veto votes and nominations. Tick “Include amendments, cloture & procedural votes” to see every recorded roll call.
