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

Attorneys & law firms supported or opposed 114 bills in California. Of these bills, John Burton, a legislator, cast votes on 64 of them.

He voted in the same direction as Attorneys & law firms on 46 bills, 72% of the time.

If an interest (such as Attorneys & law firms) 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.
