How this vote is scored

Which tracked issues this roll call counts toward, and which way a yea vote moves a member on each. Direction is decided per issue, because one bill can push two issues opposite ways.

  • Financial RegulationA yea counts toward “Regulate”

    model(0.90): Replacing strict loser-pays rules with narrower standards makes filing regulatory fraud lawsuits easier.
