Record card

Counts beside context, not grades. "Chamber median" is the typical member of this chamber in the same session; "own party median" the typical member of the same party. The strip shows every member as a tick and this one as a dot, with no order and no rank. How each measure is counted, and what it cannot tell you.

Every row links to the roll call it came from, and that page links to the Clerk's own sheet. Counts here are a list, not a score: a chamber that records few votes, and records them mostly when it already agrees, makes any rate from this list a fact about the chamber's rules before it is a fact about the member.
