How were these voting percentages calculated? Here is an example:
Psychiatrists & psychologists supported or opposed 38 bills in California. Of these bills, Judy Chu, a legislator, cast votes on 44 of them.
She voted in the same direction as Psychiatrists & psychologists on 40 bills, 91% of the time.
If an interest (such as Psychiatrists & psychologists) 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.
