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

Chambers of commerce supported or opposed 217 bills in California. Of these bills, Dick Ackerman, a legislator, cast votes on 138 of them.

He voted in the same direction as Chambers of commerce on 22 bills, 16% of the time.

If an interest (such as Chambers of commerce) 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.
