How were these voting percentages calculated? Here is an example:

Real estate supported or opposed 46 bills in California. Of these bills, S. Joseph Simitian, a legislator, cast votes on 41 of them.

He voted in the same direction as Real estate on 16 bills, 39% of the time.

If an interest (such as Real estate) 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.
