How were these voting percentages calculated? Here is an example:
Insurance companies, general supported or opposed 80 bills in California. Of these bills, Juan Vargas, a legislator, cast votes on 71 of them.
He voted in the same direction as Insurance companies, general on 29 bills, 41% of the time.
If an interest (such as Insurance companies, general) supports a bill and the legislator votes Yes, this is counted as vote in the same direction as the interest. If an interest opposes a bill and the legislator votes No, this is also counted as vote in the same direction as the interest. We examine the last substantive vote on each bill to determine a legislator's position.
