How were these voting percentages calculated? Here is an example:
Timber companies, sawmills, & others engaged in cutting down trees supported or opposed 17 bills in California. Of these bills, Herb Wesson Jr., a legislator, cast votes on 17 of them.
He voted in the same direction as Timber companies, sawmills, & others engaged in cutting down trees on 6 bills, 35% of the time.
If an interest (such as Timber companies, sawmills, & others engaged in cutting down trees) 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.
