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

Casinos, racetracks & gambling supported or opposed 30 bills in California. Of these bills, Herb Wesson Jr., a legislator, cast votes on 25 of them.

He voted in the same direction as Casinos, racetracks & gambling on 25 bills, 100% of the time.

If an interest (such as Casinos, racetracks & gambling) 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.
