How were these voting percentages calculated? Here is an example:
Construction unions supported or opposed 108 bills in California. Of these bills, John Burton, a legislator, cast votes on 68 of them.
He voted in the same direction as Construction unions on 66 bills, 97% of the time.
If an interest (such as Construction unions) 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.
