153 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Civil Rights. 111 of them counted toward the score above: 93 toward “Broaden protections” and 18 toward “Narrow protections”.

The other 42 did not count: 39 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 3 were ones they did not cast a yea or nay on. They are listed below anyway, marked as not scored, because a filtered list of votes is not a voting record.
