How were these voting percentages calculated? Here is an example:
State & local government employee unions supported or opposed 503 bills in California. Of these bills, John Burton, a legislator, cast votes on 404 of them.
He voted in the same direction as State & local government employee unions on 372 bills, 92% of the time.
If an interest (such as State & local government employee unions) 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.
