How were these voting percentages calculated? Here is an example:
Wine & distilled spirits manufacturing supported or opposed 18 bills in California. Of these bills, Wesley Chesbro, a legislator, cast votes on 12 of them.
He voted in the same direction as Wine & distilled spirits manufacturing on 7 bills, 58% of the time.
If an interest (such as Wine & distilled spirits manufacturing) 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.
