What the columns mean: The comparison report gives you four pieces of information to help you interpret the results of your comparison:

  • The Y/N Votes column compares a member's yea or nay votes to your positions.
  • The All Positions column reflects yeas & nays, announced and paired positions as recorded in the Congressional Record. It does not include unofficial positions such as member press releases or statements.
  • The Report Total column takes into account all the roll call votes you chose for your report. Members that were ineligible to vote on many votes in your list will have low scores here.
  • The Agreed/Cast column shows the ratio behind the Y/N Votes column, since 50% can mean 10 out of 20 votes, or 50 out of 100. It does not count "Present" as a cast vote.
